Default New fuel filter

Was driving last night when she started running rough. The more she ran the rougher she got. Got home she idled erratic. The fuel pressure gauge was bouncing all over. Turned the engine off for 10 min. Restarted and she ran fine for a while when it started again. This morning I had a new fuel filter put on. So far so good. Will give her a real test later today. :seeya

That sure would do it. My 84 was so sensitive to a dirty feul filter. I chased down a problem and swapped many parts to get it runnin good and it always ran good cold but it never ran better til i put a new Fuel filter in. I change then religiously now in all my rides! :cheers:

Filter WAS the culprit. Change it every year and you'll be happier :yesnod:
