High Miler
Last night the wife and I were riding the Stelvio home from work, the usual 1.5 hour drive took 3 hours because of the holiday beach traffic, no big deal you just kind of get used to the traffic around Washington DC.
We rolled into Fredericksburg, VA and filled up with fuel, we had gone 158 miles and it took 4.1 gallons of fuel, asked the wife where do you want to go for dinner and headed to the restaurant. After filling our bellies and recharging our systems with a few cool ones we went out to the bike and it would not start.
The starter engaged but the bike would not fire. I removed the plugs and checked for spark, I had plenty, reinstalled the plugs and still nothing. On a fluke I held the throttle about 1/4 or 1/3 open while the engine was turning over and it fired up but wouldn't stay idling without giving the bike partial throttle. After letting the bike warm up it would idle, though ruff, it stumbles and falls on its face when taking off, but otherwise runs fine.
I thought I might have gotten some rotten fuel so I went this morning and purchased some dry gas and put 3 oz in the tank, turned the key on and it fired right up. I didn't drive it but it idled fine.
Anyone have any thought's? I do not have anything to check the TPS and adjusted the valves last weekend, the bike has been running perfectly up until last evening.
