So here is my issue, I got this bike many years ago and it has been a blast to ride. I have done little to it mainly because it has not needed anything. It sat for two years in a garage waiting for me to take it out for a spin. When I did that this year it needed the usual douching of the gastank, carbs, airfilter and a new battery. It starts fine but will only run for a little while, maybe 10 to 20 minutes. Then for no apparent reason it shuts down. after about 5 to 10 minutes of cooling you can start it again but not for long enough to gewt a ride in. Any ideas? My mechanic is stumped.

I don't want a new bike I really like this one. I am not ready to tear it down and do a total redo but I do want to get it back on the road. Any input would be appreciated. Karen
