it will run good for about ten min and then start to lose power till it dies. the word around the office is it may be a stuck float, is there a walk through on fixing that or will the "shotgun" work on this issue?

any other ideas befor i have to take it in would be greatly appritiated

WTF. it started doing it again but now the fuel pump nipple is not displaced. what else could cause this issue i really dont want to have to take it in.

last question before i close this, i noticed that i seem to have lost some tourqe i have re-drained the bowls yet is they be a uneven levels or what might cause brief tourqe loss

not to be a jerk but lets try to stay one the topic of the poster, did you get any additional info, did you test drive it?

yes thats what i was refering to, or is there even an aftermarket fuel pump option

its the diophram inside the fuel pump that has the known issue to come loose, would there be any reason that the previous owner would remover the filter?!?

i also noticed when i removed the pump i dont think this bike has its filter!!! would this contribute to any/ all problems everything is running good now but i am goint to replace the diophram as it looks warn and doesnt seem to seed perfectly anymore, any ideas on where i can pick this up.

what i meant was going 130 in and out of traffic lol

also not to sound morbid but deffinatly at least ask her if her husband was the orignal owner and if it was "garage kept" if so great. also no offense to any one on here i know im one of the younger guys, however if the owner was older there is a good chance it wasnt abused now do keep in mind...

sounds a little to good to be true, i bought my 85 for about 3000, other things to check for are for one when you turn the ignition and flip the cut off swith to on you should hear the v-boost "cycle" youll hear a whine of the valves open and close if you dont hear it ask him why. also if you do...

ok so it appears the fuel pump diaphrams have it, went through the walkthough and now no more clicking, dont get to excited still no road test but i think it should be fine. ill keep you posted.

i dont think/hope its electrical (i hate that sh!t) it wouldnt be heat related because well its texas the bike reaches nominal about as quick as it goes 0-60 lol, anyways i tested that before by letting it idle to nominal before i actually rode it and it ran strong for the same amout of time. i...

probubly im just alerted to everything whenever i expereance problems, anyways update here is what i have ruled out, not fuel lines, not contaminated fuel, not carbs, did a compleat flush and started fine and ran strong till again 20 min in soooooo i feel its the pump not maintaining pressure so...

it might be that but i can feel some air comming from the left side of the engine its warm might be exhaust but there is no smell or sound of a leak

so i noticed i have been posting alot but i also noticed something else today on idle there was more air comming out of one side of the engine as apposed to the other so im thinking loose bowl vent hoses. ill look into that next. just keepin everyone up to the minute.

yeah theat what i figured i noticed the the sender and receiver lines were damp when i was removing the battery so looks like that is next.

i also noticed something on the general page relating to the clutch. someone said that change in play on the cluch may indicate water or fluid in the lines and the day before the bike started having this problem i noticed the clutch lost some pressure so it looks like thats what it is, a...

ok so new battery, added seafoam (decided to run some thorught the system then drain and repeat) it sputtered at first but it came on and drove up and down the parking lot strong for maybe 20 min. now my big question is it normal for the fuel pump to be click/pumping during normal operation. im...

ok guys im going to drain it compleatly (tank and bowls) tonight. then fill it and run seafoam through it tomorrow. i let you all know. thanks again
