What's up with this vapor lock thing?
Having a bit of perplextion with the Birdy lately. When she gets a little warm, Nessie is having some trouble starting up.
She turns over very well, but just won't fire up. If I let her sit and cool off a bit, eventually she'll start (that is not always convienient though - the gang gets impatient, you know!). Sometimes adding a bit of fuel enrichment (aka-"choke") helps. I've checked the fuel cap - so it is not a vacuum issue.
It appears to be a fuel starvation issue, but since the bike has been sitting, the bowls should be full, right? Can anyone think of something I might be missing here? Next step is to give the carbs a good cleaning, I guess.
Thanks,
Scot
