So, I haven't touched the bike in about 5 months for any kinda problems since it has been running like a champ. I get on it this morning and it starts running ****ty, and barely has enough power to move. I ride it like this as I have no choice else I'll be late to class. A short distance after this happens it starts running like normal. So I make it to school and forget about it.

After class, I go out and start it and it's kinda running like ****, so I proceed home. On the way home intermittently it runs good, runs like ****. In the middle of WOT it will run great, run like ****, the run great and slam you back. I get about 1/4 mile from home and it just gives up. So now I'm in the the chicken oil parking lot checking fuses and fuel, both are ok. I dont' have any tools, so i just fiddled with a couple of connections. After about 10 minutes of trying to start, it does, but very ****tly. After that in ran like ****, but then ran good the rest of the way home.

I'm going to assume its electrical. Coils? Ignitor?

****, i have no idea!

some guy on the motorcycle board thinks it's a gas cap problem. However, none of them have seen my gas tank and I'm pretty sure my gas cap doesn't seal well enough to create a vacuum. :flipoff2:

Doug, I still have your GPS. When do you want to get together to map it? Sorry, no ideas on the bike.

I have a detailed knowledge of the Doug Kreb's fueling system, I think you got some trash in there, I would drain the tank and carb bowls, see if that fixes it, maybe some water got in there. You can always drain the tank in a clear bottle and see if it has any special things in it.
