Message: [QUOTE="Wolf, post: 659776, member: 19358"] The problem I had sounds similar to yours. Bike would "pee" at times, then it wouldn't. The hole thing drove me crazy. It would run great one minute, then it would just run crappy. I still can't believe that I never checked the tank first. I checked my float level 3 times, and I had someone else check it too.Then I decided...its got to be something different....On my last ride, the bike was peeing again...I tapped the carb with a wrench a few times, but it did not help. I took the bike for a little spin and crashed hard....that fixed it:) Upon teardown, the filter in the petcock showed a nice tear in it, so dirt could flow "freely". My guess would be that at times dirt got stuck and screwed with the needle jet, so it could not seat properly. I cleaned the tank, replaced the fuel valve assembly (mine was beyond repair) and now....no more pee....no more dirt in the carb. [/QUOTE]
