first off is the selector in the right position? up- resv down-on..
is there still gas in the tank when it dies or is it completely empty.
if there is some gas left then the filter for the reserve may be clogged.. if i am not mistaken there is 2 filters in the tank one for resv and one for on. but i would take the petcock out of the tank and check its operation too. hope this helps

how much gas do you put into it after you fill up again? if you are putting in more than 3.5 gal. then you are running on your reserve all the time. I know that i cant get more than 150 miles without switching to reserve and i get roughly 50-58 mpg. i cant imagine that you would get much more than that.

It is not on reserve according to the little toggle on the side ( down on, straight off, up reserve). So i don't think it is that it must have a block in the line, or a pinch or clogged fuel filter is what i have determined it to be. Im pullin everything off tomorrow so ill know for sure then. I was wondering if maybe it could b e my carbs? blocked or something. Although the guy i bought it from said they were cleaned about 8 months ago,, so they shouldn't be clogged, unless the just used the carb cleaner and didn't run the small gauge wire through them. Oh well we'll see.

I put in 3.1625 gal on 163.5 mi. last time
3.620 for 184mi so i guess it must be running on reserve
but i can still see gas in the bottom when it dies.
