<<Twice (on the way there and on the way back) I had a sudden loss ofpower, had to pull over and switch to reserve (felt like running outof fuel) - ...withplenty of fuel left So...allsigns point to the "On" position of the petcock not allowingenough fuel to flow. Possible culprits include the vacuum diaphragm in the petcock, tank venting, or fuel screen.>> I had this exact issue, and it was the petcock diaphragm. The thing had a hole worn in the center where it mounts on a little post. Other symptoms were occasional fuel leakage when stopped, and surging at low speed. We got a replacement, screwed it in and I felt like I had a new bike. Smooth running at all speeds, plus MPG went from 40 to 45-50. BTW, there was no need to empty the tank, though I did run it down to a gallon or so. The guy who did it flipped it over on a milk crate and the cap held the gas just fine. He unscrewed the old unit, screwed in the new one, remounted the tank and I was good to go. Jay S 92 NH750 South Florida
