vfr 400 nc30 not getting gas

[el_scor_cho]

a bit more to go on perhaps, i tinkered with a few things today like checking the choke slide and all the fuel lines again to no avail.

i got stranded at the bottom of my street again following this but found a few things that may help my cause. when the bike is in its funny 'cant get fuel' phase, and it is sitting in neutral, i gave it a rev and the revs were very slow to pick up , while the bike is in motion the engine sounds sluggish and slow compared to normal.
another thing is that when stationary, still in its phase of starving itself, and in first gear with the clutch in, if i rev it the bike lurches forward, the more revs the more the force forward. i know this sounds like the clutch isnt engaging but this does not happen when the bike is running fine

hope this triggers something
thanks for the help

also i heard through the grape vine that a disconnected speedo could result in some rather unusual behaviour as it slips into a 'safe mode' of sorts.
my speedo has been playing up lately especially after my latest long ride, anyone heard of such a case?

its a seperate issue, adjust your clutch.

for anyone whos interested in an end result it seems the problem was the fuel tap.
althouh i checked it and seemed to be flowing fine it was aparantely not right. so if you have the same problem make sure the fuel tap is working properly and flowing freely.
