This problem has haunted me from the day I first bought this bike...20 some years ago...so if I can get some help...that'd be great.
Theoretically, my gasoline shut-off/reserve supply valve should be unscrewed, but NOT lifted, for normal riding...then, when (and if), I should run out of gas, I would just pull up the valve for my reserve.
I can run the bike for about a quarter of a mile before it sputters and spits...then seems to run out of gas, forcing me to pull up the reserve valve and go on my merry way...aarrrgghh!
Why am I having to run on my reserve??????...(or AM I, really?)
Any thoughts on what the problem could be?
!!!* I just got the bike back from a total resto in mid-February...and I STILL have this problem...
Thanks...
