two thougts:
1, since we don't have a temp guage, take a look at
the thermostat. Not sure why this would cause a
hiccup, but it 's worth looking at.
2. Condenstion (water) in gas is easily eliminated by
use of "Heet" which is readily availalble in colder
climates. It's just isopropyl alcohol, and it
attracts the water and then burns up through
combustion. Not sure if ethyl alcohol used in
oxygenated fuels does the same thing. Chemists? (I
do know that I am attracted to ethyl alcohol, but have
yet to combust as a result).
3. If it is worse when you get low on gas, perhaps
the temp thing is a red herring and the problem is
with evap controls. Or, it may even be related to
temp. Here's my logic (which assumes our bike has a
charcoal canister or something similar for evaporation
control). day is hot, you have a full tank. Lots of
the fuel vapors (even some liquid fuel) get into the
canister. The venting back into the tank is somehow
plugged up by all the crap in the canister, and the
fuel pump can't pull enough air into the tank. Easy
test--when it does this, open the gas cap and see (1)
if it fixes it, and/or (2) if there's a big sucking
sound.
Just a rambling, but it sounded better as I got on.
Too little coffee to see the glaring errors in py
theory?
