[QUOTE="Bill Lumberg, post: 1258264, member: 87479"] San Francisco. California bike, presumably. If so, yours has a charcoal canister/solenoid/etc. like my BMW did. Same circumstance- I stopped for gas. Hot day. Got back on bike, bike didn't run smoothly. Got worse, barely made it home. Bike wouldn't restart. Over thousands of miles of riding, my charcoal canister was full of charcoal dust, not rocks. Combine that with overzealous fillups leaving a little liquid gas overflow from time to time. By design, the emissions system captures overflow/fumes to reduce pollution to the atmosphere, then recovers fumes from the charcoal when there is a vacuum in the tank, using a solenoid and witchcraft. My (by then) powdered charcoal combined with fuel and became pudding. During my fuel stop, or just before it, vacuum in the tank resulted in the tank taking a sip from the canister. Instead of gas fumes, it sipped charcoal pudding, clogging and eventually welding the fuel filter shut. My kraut fuel pump refused to have its supremacy denied, and insisted on pumping until it blew its own crimp. Hope this isn't your problem. [/QUOTE]
