Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech She Just Dies

I reported the problem at Thanksgiving (to British-USA,my dealer near Hobby airport), but the problem had not occurred since last June. They did not seem to be aware of any ignitor or known coil problems with these bikes. If there is/was a recall - someone please post more details. I know Cliff Holland, the owner, and I know he'll treat me right, but I'd rather just be able o take it into the shop and have the service manager or one of the techs just know their business, and be aware of something like this already. No need in dragging the business owner into it unless it's a last resort. (I'm sensitive - I work in the car business, and don't need everybody who knows the GM or the company Pres (or service manager for that matter) getting them involved before I have a chance to resolve the problem.)

It was not raining, and though not cold, I had my heavy gloves on Sunday. If the fuel vent line was pinched, wouldn't that be a more consistent problem? There are too many good miles between occurrences - too many good months!
