I had the same fuel starvation (vapor lock) problem with my D1200. Thought it was a pinched vacuum line or water in the tank at first but it was not. After replacing the petcock (leaking anyway), removing the in line mini fuel filters at the carbs, replacing the fuel and vacuum lines, I finally figured out that the diaphragm valve within the filler cap was the problem. I tossed the diaphragm, problem solved. Two years later and it's never had a hiccup since. If you do take apart the cap be very careful and pay close attention to all the small parts and springs (don't ask why).
