Bike Type:Chief
Problem #31:Early 2000 Chief. After I have been riding for a while the engine dies. I found wiggling the petcock and putting it on reserve allows it to start right back up. Sometimes during the same ride it will die, or maybe not. I changed the fuel, added carb cleaner and found my tank vent is plugged under tank. Also the bike will die and as I am coasting in gear and pumping the throttle, it will backfire through the exhaust and take off. My wife is scared to death!
Possible Solution:Carb rebuild?
