You guy's w/ carbed Monster's..do you have issues yearly?

I decided to go with the OEM Mikuni rebuild kit.

4th year with my bike now.  Stock carbs and never had any issues.  I've tried Sunoco 94 octane but really didnt notice or feel any difference other that the cost.  I use regular fuel, and toss in a storage additive in the winter.  Heck I dont even drain the carbs.  Touch wood, but this procedure has been working well for me.

Did all early Monsters come with a petcock?  I dont have any shut off on my bike.  2000 M750.

My mechanic is sure that gas is not my current issue....he says  most likely that  the fuel pump membrane has staeted breaking up and lodging up in the float bowl holding it open & flooding.

I don't have a fuel shut off valve or petcock either.
But I have one on order.  I too will be going to reg. gas

Disintegrating components in the fuel system are a sure cause of sticking floats.
And the pump is on the carb side of the system.
Great you are getting a manual fuel tap.

Be sure to take some good pics and write up a DIY for the pump rebuild!   

I don't believe that we have one for that.  I couldn't find one anyway...
