I'm on the road on a week long ride. Misfiring started, second day out, intermittently at highway speeds, 5500 RPM but continued throughout all throttle settings. Turned towards home twice, but cleared up and now today it has almost been constant. Many times today I thought this is it and I'm going to be dead in the water right here all by my lonesome. Accelerating from constant throttle settings relieves misfiring. Wonder why that is?
It is really ruining a nice ride. It will really ruin it if it leaves me stranded. I think that is fuel starvation but don't know. It could be electrical.
So far I have replaced the fuel filter with a suitable substitute and changed back to the stock filter. Used one treatment of Sea Foam that probably didn't work for this problem as the malady cleared up before it even had a chance to mix with the fuel. Today on day 5, I pulled the fuel pump to look for water and/or trash in the tank. Checked the fuel line in the tank for splits and cleaned the pump electrical connection on outside of tank. Wiggled a few wires for good measure. I'm at a loss for what I am able to do on the road and limping around. Don't want to do anything major in the parking lots as I am pretty good at loosing screws or parts at the wrong time or place, which can mean stupid stranded. Still a day and a half from home. Any ideas will be graciously accepted or better phrased "Help".
