#237831 tristate (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 223 running better on reserve? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   just finnished pump removal,ais removal and porting all at one time may have been mistake . bike generaly runs great. Saturday ran about 300 miles real hard, wot test ect. no problems , the entire day on reserve more by accident than anything, no fuel starve or misshaps. Sunday switched back to "on" possition first hard run starve again, kinda at a loss. Also seem to have alot of black soot build up in end of sampson longshots any idea's thanks.

Anyway I have heard from a few people that the factory "on" tube height is to high into the tank and it doesn't allow for enough of a gravity pull. That would explain why it ran so well on reserve...the reserve tube is lower in the tank. I read it on this site - I will try and find the article. You could call and ask the shop that did the work. Otherwise you would need to pull the petcock out and inspect it. I also heard that venting the gas cap helps.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #237840 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2884 Re:running better on reserve? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Search for this thread..."Finally got rid of the Pump" it talks about the petcock.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #237841 tristate (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 223 Re:running better on reserve? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   thanks,I did vent the cap I jumped over to old forum notes seems to make sense, It sounds like just loosen petcock,remove from tank cut 1/2 in. put back in (or leave on reserve)   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #237842 CPORetired (User) What do you mean my birth certificate expired?!!!?

That SOUNDS really confusing, but once you take the petcock off it will be really clear and simple.
