Welcome to TT. The Kerrvile get together is our favorite. We have ridden down from Ohio 3 times for it. This year it was cancelled due to the China Crud, hope for next year. Some of the best people on TT there. Maybe 2021 we can all get together.

Well, I just don't now what to do. I went for a ride today,after all that maintenance. I got 1 half mile from home,and engine acted like it ran out of gas. Friend towed it home for me. Thought it might have a bad (new) petcock. replaced it with the old one,went about 1 half mile again,and quit. Went home(Towed) again. Removed the tank, whole air box,looking for a kinked hose,or something,but saw nothing wrong. Checked petcock with a vacuum and it works fine. I am lost. Ran great with dirty air filter. 3 hoses are connected to the bottom of the lower air box, if that makes any difference. HELP please !!!Originally Posted by PosseRider
Did you try opening the gas cap? If that cap's vent clogs and will not let air in, fuel pump will fail to pump enough fuel out to make "road worthy" power.

Yes I did,and I also hooked a spare hose to the vent at the rear of the tank,and could blow through it. Thanks
Fuel pump ?? Also, yrs ago HD had a problem with the intake hose to the pump cracking ,so no fuel being delivered. I remember, some would run to 1/2 tank of fuel , as the crack was way down the hose. Others would quit with almost a full tank ,as the crack was further up the hose. All I can think of,at the moment.

Just checked your profile & see it is a HD. May have more replies if you post the problem in the HD forums,rather than a Honda forum.

I didn't even look since this was a Honda forum.

OK, here was the problem. In my infinite wisdom, I made the new hose to the petcock 2 inches longer than the factory one. Thinking it would give me more room to replace,since the old one made for very little room to lift the tank and remove the hose clamp. I said a prayer for GOD to help me solve my problem. He made me look under the tank where the hose connects to the petcock,and I saw that the extra 2 inches of hose was kinked right at the petcock. I( removed the extra 2 inches and reconnected the hose,and no kink.. GOD saved me. Bike runs great now. I also replaced the plugs with a set of E 3- 36 plugs, and RPM's increased 100 at idle. Bike seems to start and run a little better. THANKS to all who helped,and advise some fixes. Live and learn, I guess. Factory does things for a reason sometimes.
