Picked up an 11,000 mile V Star 1100 about a month ago and it rode great for a week or two. One day I gave it some throttle and it started sputtering about halfway up the powerband, thought I was out of gas at first but reserve didn’t change it, feels like the bike is starving itself of gas. At first it wasn’t bad and would only do it sometimes so I still rode it to work a lot. I was trying to diagnose it, made sure gas cap and petcock worked, replaced fuel filter and pump, inspected the easier spark plug to pull out, sprayed intake boots looking for leaks. Nothing ever changed so now I’m up to the carbs. I’ve gotten into the bowls but everything looks pretty clean just like everything else I’ve looked at on the bike. Should I just clean it all real good and stick it back in and hope it works? Is there anything else that might be causing this issue? New to carbs so this is very different for me.
