I need some help with my Kat, very aggravated here.
I've brought my '06 750 Kat to my local Suzuki dealership 4 times in the last 8 months or so with water in the tank. They kept claiming Ethanol which I understand is an issue but I did my OWN research and discovered that the vent hole that i guess runs through the tank was clogged and I think that caused water to sit around the rubber seal and wear it down just enough to cause water to get in there.
That being said, the 4th time I brought it in, they took the tank off and dried it out, new plugs, clean carbs, yada yada. I manage to run a whole tank of gas out of it with no problem.
Came home from work on the second tank and it dies but this time much more abrupt. I turn the knob to "PRI" and it starts right up. Turn it to "On" and it will run a mile or two and die.
Is it possible that I have such a bad gas cap, either through the rubber seal, or the innards of the cap itself, that I'm not getting a vaccuum??
I'd like to add I've had this Kat 4 years, first and only owner and I love it, this is the only issue I've had with this bike and it seems so simple, it just won't go away!
