Some one has put a WA filter on this forum, because I posted pictures last night!
Anyway, the kinked lines are found to be the problem.
The line is the fuel return to the tank, and I'm guessing that there's an overpressure switch which shuts the flivver down when the pressure is too high.
While riding fairly fast the fuel return is probably OK, but at idle lots must be returned, and if the line is kinked, bingo.
Mine had two kinks. I think it's been coming for a while, and the fact I had the tank up for weeks playing with the seat caused the final collapse. The rubber was pretty soft and shitty.
Yes, on the 99s there are two spigot diameters. Slightly smaller at the tank end (I think). But a piece of fuel line 8mm (5/16ths) will go onto both ends and with a bit of persuasion the original clips can be used.
Easy enough to check when next under the tank, just peel the spring back like a foreskin and the kinks will be right up near the tank.
Photo shows the problem.
Getting a new filter anyway but I'm off now to the track day as planned Sunday Wooooohoooooo
