My RC Passport crapped out twice on the way to work this morning. It would die, like it wasn't getting fuel, so I'd pull it over to the side of the road and fool with it for a minute, then it would run fine again for a few miles, then die again.
Both times it ran OK after I took off the gas cap, so I'm thinking it's vapor lock. This is common on my mopeds, which have 30-year-old gas gaps and mixed gas, but I was pretty surprised to run into it on this bike.
There are two little holes in the rim around the underside of the gas cap, I sprayed some carb cleaner in there. Anyone know for sure how these caps vent and where I should look for blockage? Anyone else had this problem?
