Today I was completing the Dual H4 Headlight Mod w along with installing a K&N Air Filter. When I raised the gas tank the vent hoses let off a lot of built up pressure and rusty water or old fuel came out of the hoes, they had been kinked underneath the tank by the dealer or previous owner. I had always wondered why when I fueled up the gas cap let off pressure. Here is where problem comes in I get most of the front faring put back together and go to start the motor and fires up for split second and shuts off, I tried turning a little long and it would fire and die, fire and die. So I start looking for anything that be might disconnected but everything was hooked up right. When putting the gas tank down I pulled the vent hoses so they would not be kinked anymore. They had so much extra length I cut 2" off so they would just clear the center stand. The these vent hoses drop down by the rear brake pivot bolt. Well after search my service manual for an hour with no apparent cause for the stalling , no diagnostic code where being displayed. I decided to plug the vent hose from the gas tank with some bolts to see if the motor would get more fuel, and low and behold she came to life again. Took the bolts back out of the vent hoses and it fires and shut off. There back in and no trouble on a short ride around the block but I won't trust it until I know what's wrong.
So now I need help finding what was damaged by kinking the vent hose.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ken
