oh just 2 days ago.. well then.. water in the gas? too much cleaner?

one weird thing.. i once ran out of gas and i had a bottle of fuel treatment cleaner.. so i just ran the bike on straight cleaner.. it got me 3 miles to the gas station.. then the bike was WEIRD for a day.. but ran great after that 1 day.

2 days later i noticed black soot.. alot of it in my pipe..

i am guessing the straight cleaner decarboned my head :tour:

by pass your pump 1st before you art messing with it..

unplug the wires to the pump and just add a fuel filter in place of the pump and go for a ride...

if your still stumbling after 4500 its not the pump.

I already have an extra filter in place, but I'll bypass tomorrow before going to work.

Between 4.5 and 5.5k it feels like it surges been normal power and half power, above that it's just a whole lot of extra noise and not a lot of power, no surging. Under 4500 seems reasonably stable, idle is solid.

At idle the pump clicks like a mad penman. Clicky clicky clicky...

I'm going to have to open up the carbs, I think. With a full tank of fuel and a bypassed pump opening the petcock results in fuel pouring out of the carburetor assembly. I'm guessing I have a stuck float at a minimum. Possibly more. Sigh...

turn off the gas.. run the bike .. tap the float bowls.. turn gas back on.. go ride.

Tried that. Didn't work.

Got the bike home, I'll dig in tomorrow before work.
