no fuel reserve! and gas won't turn off

[Dan Oaks]

I am shocked! I know that people that ride KLR's (especially GBGreen ones) are not noted for their good taste, but for someone other than a saltwater fisherman to mention Vienna Sausage in their post makes me want to puke! Historically, offshore fishing has been the home of many closet Vienna Sausage fans. They buy $75,000 boats, lots of electronic gadgets, wear designer fisherman clothes, and sneak way out in the Gulf Stream and eat their little weenies where nobody can see them. It even disturbs the wildlife. Barracuda have been known to get so pissed that they jump right into the boat to attack the offender. And pity the poor seasick landlubber that's hurling over the side while the cans are being emptied. As an animal lover, it riles up my juices to think that someone would actually slaughter an animal of some kind, just to make Vienna Sausages. (Now that I think of it, they taste to me like the animals used may have died from natural causes.) I would highly recommend looking in the pasta mix section for things like Fettucine Alfredo, etc. keep forever, lightweight, and easy to prepare. And if you have to take Vienna Sausage, just don't mention it. Motorcycle riders already have a bad enough image. 8^) -- bierdo ******************** Pat Schafer wrote:

Fettucini Alfredo!!!! Perhaps we should start with a first course of soup Bonne Fem, salad Nicoise, Roast tendenderloin with Honey and Thyme followed by a dessert of Linzertorte with Columbian Java. Anyone knows that Vienna Sausages are the mainstay of real backcountry bikers.....and Norweigan fisherman! Sourdough Schaf.

Please help! I no longer have a fuel reserve on my 1988 KLR! It's very frustrating and has left me stranded twice. When I have the petcock set to "on" it runs all the gas out as if it were set to "reserve". When set to "off" fuel still runs out of the petcock. I thought perhaps the problem was in the petcock so I installed a "petcock rebuild kit" from Fred Hink. On a test run this afternoon I once again ran out of gas so I guess that's wasn't the problem. Still no reserve. Then on a short test ride this afternoon I stopped in the woods to make a "nature call" and noticed gas running out the side of the carb! My bike wouldn't start and gas was dribbling out at an alarming rate. I unhooked the fuel line (the down pointing one, not the one behind) and gas still dribbled out the side of the carb. This seemed to allow the bike to start after much cranking. (I could see gas fumes coming out the exhaust pipe). When I got home I parked the bike in the drive way. It's been sitting there for an hour dry as a bone! No leaks whatsoever. Weird! Please help! This thing has got me befuddled. I'm scared of being stranded again and I'm schedule to go on an overnight trip April 7. Any ideas what the problem could be?
