Dale, you are absolutely correct. I was both tactless and thoughtless. You bought it and you should ride it however you want. Please parden my rude and unnecessary comments.

Sounds like you are doing it more often than I am. Have you checked your fuel screens. I know when I pulled the main tank valve I had a lot of grey sediment half way up the screen and there have been posts about trash in the tanks. Don't forget about the little screen at the carb inlet Tee. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me and I am looking for answers so I can put it behind me. I'm no carb expert and perhaps float bowls could be adjusted to avoid starvation if indeed it is the case. And I'd think the Pingle may be of no use either if the bowls are out of wack. I just want to beat that one guy on his 1200 Sporty where this has been giving me grief.



yeah, in fact i removed the petcock a while ago and cleaned it out and removed the little cone filter at the carbs not long after. I did put an inline filter in that does take forever to refill when i hit reserve, but the only reason i didn't consider that a possibility is because like i said i can literally sit at a light for a time so that i know theres a full filter and float bowls, then wind it out and have it happen in 1st of second gear. So i know it can't be starving for fuel after one or 2 seconds. Also it did this before in installed that filter. (which is coming off) But yeah, the pathway is clean.
