OK this was my problem I last had I was sure it was worse and would have to haul it to dealer for fix(still has warranty till NOV unless I extend it).Bike has sat too much this year but having to haul a lot of tools back and forth made using Cavalier more productive.
So I decided on 4th of July to go to town maybe see local fireworks if possible as I had to work that day.
Well ran out of main tank half way there, went to reserve and tada ran even worse. Well it had done this before but got through the bad gas, so called buddy, had him bring me Heet and gas and to no avail my bike would still not run. So had to leave her beside road till got off work next day. I was positive I had drained enough outto get running, but I was wrong, took float bowl off after pulling air box, murky fuel water mix told me what I needed to know, so drain float bowl, remove tank, dump it out, reinstall, new fuel with some Sea Foam pour in. Tada ,ran perfect and got better as I rode it.
He has done same thing, had similar results and I do believe Ill just invest in a few orings,,,and soon invest in a bike cover. As I have no garage.
