Tiggie Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I'm guessing by fuel filter you mean the air filter? What bike is it? If it's one with a carburettor I'd be looking at that. Sounds like a blockage or stuck float. I wouldn't recommend taking it apart unless you are mechanically inclined though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K&R air filters are meant to be soaked in light oil, and this can smell a bit like fuel. This surprised me a bit when I first found one on a bike.But possibly it is fuel, and then you might have found your problem. Definitely shouldn't cut out; like you said, it's dangerous.
