gas tank vent line
|

1985 gl1200 aspencade. Twice now my bike has come to a stop while sputtering and trying to run. Not electrical (just doesn't quit running). When the tank is down to a quarter tank and I open the gas cap there is a big whoosh. My guess is the tank isn't venting properly and it kinda gets vapor locked for lack of a better description. Where is the vent line for the tank? I would like to check it and see if it is clogged. Thanks in advance.

Soak the gas cap overnight in seafoam, if it is clogged that will clean it out.
The only stupid questions are the one's that are not asked.

All the gas caps on bikes that i have owned that were vented had a hole in the top and this one doesnt. Just the design? I did see three small holes in the bottom of the gas cap. Just curious.

The 3 holes vent under the chrome metal cap, therefore you don't see the actual vent, it is hidden
