Rode to work this morning, and had no issues to speak of. After work ( ten hours. Later), the bike wouldn't start. I had spark, gas was good and on (i checked it second ) and it wouldn't push start. I even tried getting pulled around the block. It would barely fire and as soon as I gave it throttle or would pull the clutch, it would die out.
I couldn't smell gas, so I don't think it was getting any.
I borrowed the work van to get me and the bike home. At home i and drained the tank, but it only bleed freely when on reserve. Whe I turned the pet cock to on it only dribbled, so I blew out the pet cock. She still wont fire. The battery is reading 12.3 and the fuses are good along with the plugs.
Any suggestions? :wtf:

Gas cap not venting, hole in petcock vacuum line, petcock filter/line is clogged in the tank. Run the bike on"prime" and see if there is an improvement. Pull the petcock and check visually for yuckies; I think the petcock has two inlets; main and reserve. Clean the gas cap thoroughly.
