Alright so I got the bike back together after changing the oil seals in the fork and painting the lowers. Let her off the lift and started her up. Started fine the first time, went about 1/2 a block and started to run like crap, wouldn't want to go and had very little throttle response unless I went WOT. Came to stop and she died. The bike doesn't want to keep running and when I do get it started I have to hold the throttle all the way for it to idle at about 2,000rpm. I tried putting the petcock to prime and still had the same problem, Took off the inlet line from the 1month old fuel pump and on prime gas ran very freely. What could cause such an Issue? It's like I'm not getting fuel or the throttle just isn't doing anything. I'm guessing a vacuum leak somewhere but where? Also where is the fuel filter suppose to be? Between the petcock and fuel pump? I don't think I have one. Please someone help, I was all excited to go for a ride with the rebuilt suspension and nw this :wallbash: :what: :wallbash:
