Fuel starvation and tank breather

satchmolips · Nov 27, 2016

Filled up to the top of tank yesterday and 100 miles this morning. The this afternoon 200 yards and I had 10 mins of tickover and surging. Clearly fuel starvation. The back to normal and OK so far. New filter about 600 miles ago. Anyone point me to where the fuel tank breather comes out of or goes to? No sedimenter, so other than checking breather, fuel filter and lift pump, anything else??

I often get this when I fill it up completely. Try cracking the bleed screw on the fuel filter and lift-pump it, until it clears out. If there's air in it, that should clear it!

Or replace the filter
Mileage is no indication of how clear the filter is, you could of stird some crap or bugs up when you filled up
