RE: My first breakdown....Feel stupid
Thanks for the support. Its both unfortunate and nice to know this happens frequently. Makes me feel better anyway. It seemed pretty obvious it was a fuel thing right away. But I immediately thought it had to be something horrible vice something simple.
For posting this thread where it can be of more use: Is there a high-tech way to do this or do I just post the same thing or link to this thread from those?
PS: Also noting the 'Sporties don't like the cold' thing. It coughs, spits, lags, and such until totally warmed up. I'm pre-taxed; not sure if that's a factor.

This is not just a Sportie thing. All newer HD's have a vaccum operated petcock on them. A friend's 1996 EG did the same thing, and right after he had just put in a custom 100 inch RevTech engine. We thought for sure that something bad had gone wrong with the thing.
Glad you got yours going, and thanks for offering this good info that is bound to help some member sometime down the road. You might want to also post in the fuel section and General HD Chat to insure coverage for some that might not check out the Sportster section.
