    running

    HI ALL. THIS IS MY PROBLEM. MY 79 S SOMETIMES WILL STATE FINE. AFTER RIDING IT STARTS MISSING AND THEN CUTS OFF. AT TIMES IT WILL RESTART RIGHT AWAY BUT BE MISSING. THE PICK UPS LOOK OK I DO HAVE A 80 S FOR PARTS I AM GOING TO PUT THE PICK UPS FROM IT TO SEE IF IT MAKES IT BETTER. IS THERE ANY ONE PLACE I SHOULD LOOK TO FIX THIS THANKS ALL

    Other things to check.

    Running too rich and fuel fouling?
    Gas cap breather plugged? Try opening the cap while running.
    Inline filter plugged of maybe gunk collected on the petcock's filter tower?
    Vacuum hose to the octopus is either not connected or has a bad leak.
    Sticking float valve?
