Hi all. My xs D model has started to cut out, it happens when ive been for a ride and then have to idle in traffic for a while ( getting very hot ). It will not start again for about 20 seconds and then its fine. Its done this the last three times out and always on a hot day. Now ive checked the ignition wiring for any loose connections that could seperate due to the heat and all ok.
Someone suggested its the fuel evaporating in the carbs. It certainly seems like a temporary fuel blockage, but why would it happen on both carbs at the same time?
If its evaporation, surely the fuel would instantly refill the carbs from the tank as the floats go down, or am i missing something about the workings of the carburetors.
Any suggestions appreciated.
