the vent line is the one on the back left ( gear shiter ) I would also check the vacuum line going to the petcock. Sometimes folks will plug that into the stub right beside where it goes.

Yep, the tank vent is on the rear of the tank and exists near the swing arm, its the one with the open ' T ' ..  Its a common problem..

You can take the seat off, reach into the space in front of the battery box and gently pull it straight.

People are more passionately opposed to wearing fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than bikers.

Two more miles then it dies again, with cap left open?  Or are you opening, then closing it again and getting two more miles?  If the latter, as all said, vent tube.   However, if it is the former and it dies with cap still open, petcock vacuum line or petcock diaphragm.

I have to agree with you.  We moved from the Black Hills in 1988 (after I retired from RCFD) and I think about the place often.
Thanks,
