It got me again. The first time, when I just got the bike, and now just yesterday. It's not going to get me again. Ya feel like a fuc'n idiot when ya run out of gas......well at least when you only have less then 5 min.
I didn't run out there was still gas it it, the light came on as it should, but the problem is it ran out with in 5 mins. I switch it back to on and if filled the bowls and I drove some more, switched back and forth with just the key in the on position - started it and rode a little more. Finally, to get me to a gas station while riding I kept switching the switch back and forth to res/on every time it started to sputter.
My question is : is it the switch that's the problem or is it the sending unit, or maybe a plugged tube, or ??? What it the best way ( to pin point the problem ) to tell. What are the reasons this would happen.
I'm going to blast the switch with contact cleaner, but if that doesn't work what else would you do next ?
Any help would be great guys. I did do a search but there wasn't much on it and maybe now someone knows for sure what the problem is....I hope.
