Hey guys. I could use some help here...
It appears that my katana isn't getting any gas. The starter tuns the engine over just fine. I thought the problem may be a clogged fuel filter, so I took the tank off to replace the filter. When I had the tank off, I made sure that gas flowed when set to prime. Every thing appeared to be working fine. For giggles, I tried to crank the bike without the fuel tank. Presto. It cranked and purred like a kitten. I thought this meant that I identified the problem correctly... but No! Once every thing was put back together, I had the same problem. I thought that maybe the tank needed access to air in order to feed the carbs so I opened the cap. It didn't help. I looked for kinks in the fuel line but didn't see any.
Any suggestions?
I should probably also tell you that the fuel cock is about one month old, so I don't expect any problems there. I've tried to crank it on every position : on, Res, and pri. Lastly, the bike ran fine less than a week ago...
