That's a new one on me. It may be a gas problem and I don't care for ethanol, but I don't think that is it. Are you getting gas from different places with ethanol and having the same problem or has this just happened?

Sounds strange. You might completly drain your fuel tank. Then with fresh fuel, and a good dose of Sea-Foam, drain each carb bowl seperatly. ( let fuel pump run fuel thru each bowl seperatly ) .

 

Do some hard running for a couple of days, give the Sea Foam some time to work.

Run Sea-Foam for a couple of complete tanks of gas.

 

Also, I'm thinking you might be in need of a carb Sync proceedure.

I agree with GeorgeS. I also run a little Sea Foam in my fuel at every fill up. I keep it, and a 35 mm film canister in my saddle bag. I pour from the can into the canister and then into the tank. I wrap the can in a rag and pit it in a plastic gallon zip bag also. I put in at least a 1/2 oz at every fill up.

 

The carb sync would be a very good idea.

this has been an ongoing problem since i got it and i do get gas from different places 3 places 2 of them are ethanol free 1 closes at 6pm the other at 9pm and i have been filling up at a shell with ethanol around 10 or 11pm so i really never have time to get the good gas. i havent run seafoam in it as much as i should but will do that for the next 5 or 6 tanks and see what that does for it as for the carb sync yes it needs it bad but on a good note it averages 35 to 38 mpg
