Runs then dies
I bought a 1976 GL1000 (trike) about 6 months ago and it ran great. About 2 months ago it would start right up and idle ok. After I rode it about 8-10 blocks, it would die and not restart for a few hours. After pushing it home a few times, I got mad enough to start disassembly to part it out. Decided to keep it, but don't know where to start to repair it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Runs then dies
Check fuel filter. If it's blocked it would cause this. It's a good starting point.kevinpoore wrote:I bought a 1976 GL1000 (trike) about 6 months ago and it ran great.
