The one big downside to adding 'cleaners' like Sea Foam, Lucas, STP, etc, s it loosens up gunk in the tank and lines; this will in turn clog filters, jets, etc. did that on my wife's car one time; added fuel injector cleaner of sort( can't remember the brand) a week later the car quit and had to be towed home. Changed the fuel filter(clogged) and good to go. Used the stuff on a regular basis after that.

Hi Everyone

It's been awhile, but I still have my awesome 2001 drifter 800.

Went out recently on a 30 min trip to visit a friend (nice easy ride), it rode fine but on the way home it sputtered at each stop... Stalling out until I choked it to restart. Did that about 20 times until I got home.

This was about the 10th time out this year.  Used Seafoam in gas tank in attempts to rid the carb of any gunk.... No help so far.  Now it starts when choked only and when the choke is off it stops.  Any simple starting points: I have opened the gas cap while starting and it starts only when choked.  I have tried to start it in pri and again it only starts when choked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again NTL
