The other day I decided to pull the carbs on the magna and check them out and also change the spark plugs while it was down. The carbs were very clean so I decided to sync them. Today I put it all back together and started it up, then after it was warmed up I readjusted the idle. I ask the o' lady if she wanted to go for a ride and she said sure lets go get something to eat. We get geared up and headed out. About a mile from the house at a stop sign the magna started acting funny like it was flooding out or something. I was like wtf

and

. So all kind of things are going through my head. Then out of the blue the o' lady says " You should not have messed with the bike." That was the last thing I wanted to hear

. So I'm checking the choke and the idle screw and anything else I can think of

. Finally I shook the gas tank and low and behold I was out of gas

. I switched to reserve and headed for the nearest gas station and filled it up

. We went on our way with no other issues. What a relief.

Aren't you glad it wasn't on reserve to begin with.
