Hi All,
Think I already know the answer but just confirming it here on my 1984 SR400
Was riding along and noticed as I was riding faster the bike seemed to struggle for fuel.
Then all of a sudden a few back fires and the engine died.
Pulled over and checked fuel. No fuel in the clear inline fuel filter between the tank and carby. one of those small triangle ones with a piece of fuel line between the tank and the carby.
Disconnected the fuel line from the tank and carby, turned the fuel tap on and fuel came out. So not blocked. Put on a spare bit of fuel line directly between the tank and the carby, the bike started up second kick and ran fine afterwards.
I am just putting it down to the blocked fuel filter which restricted fuel to the carby and eventually stopped flowing all together.
Anyone else had this happen?
