Title: Turns over, no run
Post by: ATL fj on June 16, 2014, 08:48:12 AM
Hi everybody, I just had the bike in the shop to address the clutch slave issue and a general tune up.  Prior to the tune up the motor ran great but wouldn't go because of the clutch.  But now...  I was going to go for a ride, pulled the choke, started up where it started with a faster idle than normal (because of tune up I assumed) but after a couple of minutes it died like it was getting no gas.  I might have been in the reserve so I added some gas but it still won't start.  I know I have reserve switch issues but it never caused a problem before.

Any quick ideas before I haul it back on the trailer to see what the shop may have bumped while having it apart?

Thanks for any help.

I'd check to make sure the petcock in 'on'.  Or maybe they didn't put the vacuum line for the petcock back in position.

Yep what he said! High idle due to vaccum hose not on and stopped because it ran out of fuel.

Now runs perfect.  They said they either cut the vacuum hose short and it got crimped or collapsed due to age.  Either way it's back in the garage and ready to roll.  Thanks for helping with the diagnosis.
