so, after nearly 10 years of not riding, I finally got the old bike going again. Put about 7-800 miles on it over the past month, and two weeks ago it started something odd. Cruising along, 3rd or 4th gear, 40ish mph, and it starts acting like it’s running out of gas, only it isn’t. I can hold the throttle open to keep rpm’s up, and I can maintain speed, but that’s about it. After a few minutes it straightens out. May take an hour-ish to start happening, once it starts, it’ll repeat every 5-10 minutes. Changed fuel filter, took out fuel tap, and checked inside the tank, all good. One time I was in a group and the guy behind me said it sounded even from both exhaust pipes, and he smelled gas. So, I changed coils. No difference. If it was a fuel pump, one side of the exhaust would be fine, so it’s not that. I’m pretty sure it’s electrical, but not sure what would be that intermittent. Sitting still in interstate traffic at 95 degrees it’s fine, I’m always moving somewhat when it starts.
