I have an 86 I. I went with a friend on a camping trip at the end of last summer to Front Royal Va. Pulling my trailor with about 250Lbs behind her. She took me there and home. Ran like a top. I have taken a couple of small 5 mile trips this summer. The bike sat most of the summer as all the leather was at a shop getting re-done. well the other day I took the bike out and statred it. It warmed up for about 5 min. I threw my leg over her and took off. as I started out she started to buck like she was still cold. so I eased back on her. About 3/4 of a mile she acted fine so off I went westbound. About 2 mi. down the road she started backfiring and bucking.I thought maybe sombody turned off the gas. I reached down and turned the petcock.Started to run a little better. All of a sudden she quit on a dime. I pulled to the side of of the road and got down where I could see the petcock. Stupid me I cut off the gas. Turned the gas back on hit the choke a little and bang she took off. Started out thinking I had better get her home. Rodeo riders had nothing on me and I rode that bronking horse more than 8 seconds. Got her home and as i pulled in the drive she quit right in the end of the drive. pushed her in the garage. Yesterday morning wes out in the garage I hit the choke and hit the start. Started and she ran like a top(did not ride it). My thoughts are maybe she sat hot days cool nights maybe condensation in the tank. PLEASE! any Ideas would be wonderful. :thanks: :thanks:
