Why does my motorcycle cut off when I give it gas?
Some common reasons for motor vehicle stalls include: An empty gas tank. A fuel mixture that isn’t rich enough (this is usually the cause of cold stalling and intermittent stalling) A faulty fuel pump, alternator or EGR valve.
When should I turn the gas off on my motorcycle?
The primary reason for shutting off the fuel is safety. On a motorcycle the fuel tank is directly above the engine. If fuel were to leak it would drip directly on the hot engine. This along with the fact that most motorcycles use a rubber supply hose that is exposed to the engine heat and the resulting decomposition.
What to do when your bike Idles but dies?
Either way the solution is the same. Pull the carb bowls off. Pull the jets and clean them til you can see perfectly through them. Use carb cleaner, and compressed air or my favorite a few strands of stripped electrical wire to push all the gunk out of em. TPS sees fuel going in and compensates, but compensates for nothing. I had the same happen.
Why does my bike die when I give it throttle?
I put fresh gas in it and kicked it over and let it run at idle for about 10 minutes. After I let it warm up, I gave it some throttle and it dies on me. It seems to idle fine but whenever I give it the smallest amount of throttle is dies on me. Any ideas what’s causing it?
Why does my bike die when given the slightest?
This is a classic and very obvious clogged pilot jet. If you can start and idle fine, but slowly rolling on the throttle bogs/dies, that’s the culprit. If you can make it through the bog and then it suddenly roars to life, that’s also a really big confirmation as well. See my reply to the other comment for a more detailed explanation.

Why is the fuel petcock valve turned off on a motorcycle?
fuel injection has eliminated the use of carburetors and floats to control fuel flow. The primary reason for shutting off the fuel is safety. On a motorcycle the fuel tank is directly above the engine. If fuel were to leak it would drip directly on the hot engine.
What happens if the fuel tank leaks on a motorcycle?
If fuel were to leak it would drip directly on the hot engine. This along with the fact that most motorcycles use a rubber supply hose that is exposed to the engine heat and the resulting decomposition. On an automobile the fuel is usually isolated from the heat and transfered from the tank to the engine via a steel line.
Why does my mule cut off like its out of gas?
If it is a single cylinder model I would suspect the coil/magneto. If it is a v-twin then I would lean toward fuel tank vent being clogged, plugged fuel filter, failing fuel pump relay, failing fuel pump, or the igniter. But each will need to be tested to know for sure.
