I don't usually trust the fuel gauge so I am always filling the tank. I don't have an inline fuel filter but thinking I might install one and some clear fuel line. I will try running without the cap on and see what happens. this all started after I stored the bike in my basement this winter. I have stairs going up out of my basement and noticed when I was guiding the bike up the stairs (not running we used a small winch) that some gas leaked out of the float bowl hose as I went up the incline (I had drained the bowl/tank etc when I put it up for the winter and refilled before taking it outside.) From there problems just started multiplying. I did notice the first time I took it out and it stalled and didn't want to start that after it did start I took it to fill it up and it immediately ran better. I wonder if opening the tank cap vented the tank and allow fuel flow again ? Thanks for the input it has me thinking at least.
