My Fuel Pump Crapped Out in South Dakota!!!

[giantkiller]

  I ran a filter when I first got my 86 running. Could only run a couple gallons out of the tank. Thought my manual petcock I installed had the pickups to high. Rode the 12 1/2 hours to the ECFR  that way. Got there and everyone kept telling me to remove the filter. I didn't believe them. Finally I took it off  and I could empty the tank. I would love to put a pump and filter on..  My bike had a full tank when it was parked 10+ years ago. It was dry when I picked it up. I've cleaned the tank many times. And I still have to clean the carbs  of small brown bits quite often. If you guys get this all worked out. It will happen to my 86
.Thanks in advance
