Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Please help. Dying bike in rain, 1300 miles away.

Just a quick update and a big thanx to everyone that threw in some help.
I made it back to Houston. Ahh Home, alas.
I cut back my fuel tank vent line about 2 1/2 inches at a very long angle (angle/hole, facing the rear). But only after riding in the rain again and feeling the sputter, I cracked the gas cap and she ran like a charm. (I now knew that it wasn't electrical) So I cut the hose like I described and kept on trucking with no sputter and no dying again.
The prolem was water clogging the fuel tank vent line.
Judging from the threads I have read about sputtering in the rain, This may be one of those "common problems/fixes" that could go into the vault.
Thanx again all. What an awesome 3000 mile, 11 day trip. Only 2 days straight riding each way though.

Me and my TBA "Emtoo" are now officialy one!
