You accidently wired your Hawke-Oiler push button to the kill switch!?!?!? :^)

My problem started riding up some of the mountain passes in California in the wee hours of the morning. Several times on a 30 degree grade as I reached the summit, 9,000 plus feet, I would get a complete engine kill and re-catch. This occurred at least four times. A little disconcerting with no place to pull over and no way to go down except backwards. Later when I got into BC, again in the mountains. It started to happen again. My first though was bad gas (water). Most of the gas stations on the AK Highway are single pump, single grade, old gas that might have been sitting in the tanks for awhile. I added some fuel additive to absorb water on several occasions and it appeared to help. It might have been more wishful thinking than fact. The problem continued...with increasing frequency. Leaving Alaska the problem be came more frequent. Any grade up that reached 7,000 feet, on the up grade, the bike would start to surge and miss. Like someone had shut off the gas and then open the valve back up a few seconds later. It became a major problem as the day warmed up and I found myself now sitting along side the road with a stalled bike. It would start back up if I allowed it to sit for 20 minutes. The next up grade it might occur all over again. I bought a small one gallon aux plastic gas can because the problem started to occur when the gas level dropped to 3/4 of a tank. I would stop and top off the tank and continue on. I ended up doing several things and I think I know what the problem and or problems are that caused the problem. One of which all GTS owners should be aware of. hawke
