 :) After replacing the rev' counter and giving the Vision an oil/filter change I took the wife out on the "V" today for a couple hour's, just around the local road's. Living in a rural area gives me some great riding right on my doorstep 8) Anyhooooo, we had done approx' 30 'ish mile's when, at 60'ish M.P.H. the "V" lost power and died...w.t.f!!! I had done a 300 mile's + trip during the week, nooooo problem w.t.f... ??? I reached down and flipped the petcock to prime...uh-uh...switched to reserve...she hacked, farted and burst into life again. A few miles up the road I switched her back to "run"...O.K. for a while and she died AGAIN w.t.f. is going on here...I filled her up the other day, can't be gas ::) flipped to reserve and she ran O.K...weird ::) Traveled about 10 or 15 mile's and came across a gas station, pulled in to the side to check the gas line and remove the gas cap..possible vapor lock ??? Huh, found the problem right away... :-[ :-[ :-[ Ummmmmm, cough, it appear's that :-[ cough I hadn't filled her up the other day after all :-[  ;D :D :D :D :D What a dickhead I am ;D :D :D :D :D Ah well, at least I was at a gas station and not marooned on one of our rural road's, with no cell phone and a bitchin' wife on my case... ::) After putting in 3.5 gallon's...the most I've ever put in :o.. off we went again. Pulled in after a wee while for a coffee...and a good giggle :-[ She certainly runs allot better with gas in the tank...The "V" that is ;D ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D... ;)
