Stalling sometimes at stops? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Here's a totally different take on that problem. Mine did that twice one day a few years ago- stalled at a traffic light, was able to restart it immediately. Then about a mile down the road, stalled at a stop sign. Restarted it again immediately. Rode home absolutely fine for 5 miles without missing a beat. My fuel gauge read a little less than a quarter of a tank, but I put gas in it from a can at home and it ran fine again. Went to a gas station and filled it up and it confirmed my suspicion that I had run out of gas and my gauge was off and misleading me. Since I cleaned off the sensor and use Techron in my tank every once in a while I have not had that problem again. And always take a look at your trip indicator when your gauge reads low to see how far you've gone on the tank. The mileage indicator is very likely more accurate than your gas gauge on the dash.
