78 Hawk II - delayed low idle, then dies
« on: June 13, 2010, 05:38:31 PM »
Bike starts fine and rides for 10-15 mins fine, idling at a constant 1200 rpm. After 15-20 mins, the bike begins to idle low and will die if I have to stop.

Ideas?

Fuel cap vent? Plugged petcock filter? Dirty tank? kinked fuel lines?
