Ross is a dirty liar.

The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Turns out you're right. I took the bike to get some gas today and as soon as I filled it up, it started acting up again. I don't know what to do about this, aside from never putting more than 2 gallons in it.

Does it have a petcock? Maybe the weight of the fuel combined with the atmospheric pressure of an open tank is somehow flooding the engine? I'm grasping, I know.

edit: Google may have saved your ass...

I have had some "flooding" problems when refilling the fuel tank. Apparently one must be very careful not to fill the tank even remotely close to the internal baffle tube, or you will experience some overflow from a vent hose and poor running until about a quart of fuel is used.

Do you keep punching yourself in the crotch, wondering why your dick is bruised also?

Depending on if I get all my stuff moved in and setup Fri night, and what time this ride would be over I'm tentative. Gotta be in the Northern Neck no later than 5pm for my cousin's wedding and it's a 3+ hour drive from NoVA.

I'll probably have to drive to VA Beach, as well, so a reasonable return time is good, and usually happens
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

No, but I'm sure you do. His name's probably Ramon.

Bike is at the shop, but I told them to clear it w/me before they touched anything. I'll probably just ride it tomolo as is.

I'm 99% sure it does have a petcock, just not one you turn off every day like older bikes. My friend had a YZF600 that you must use a long blade screwdriver to turn the petcock with. Just a thought.


I think it's an overfilling issue, though, like mentioned before.
