CB550F Gradually losing power and stopping...
Steph550:
Thanks for the replies,
It is looking very much like a fuel starvation problem. I have since filled the tank completely and the bike's done 80 miles without missing a beat...!
The vent in the filler cap is fine, I'll have a look at the filter when I get a chance.
Cheers :)
Steph.
Bryanj:
Could just have been going on reserve, how much did you put in to fill it?
Steph550:
Tried running it on reserve and had the same problem. It took about £10 of premium unleaded (about £1.59 a litre :o)

LesterPiglet:
I've just reread. This happened after you forgot to turn the fuel on. Carbs possibly sucked up sediment in the bottom of the float bowls, I would check the bowls first. If there is crap in there you will need to clean all your jets out.
Bryanj:
What you put in is about the quantity before you go on reserve so i would suspect that the reserve part of the tap is bungeded up mate
