I have a 1985 900s that after driving approx 200 miles from a full tank of gas it will start to sputter. as if it is running out of gas. (although I don't know what that's like have never done it). Seems to run fine after I fill it. The gas gauge does not work. My suspicion is that maybe the gauge is simply floating in the tank and when it gets down to approx 5 gallons left, the gauge is blocking the line that would feed the engine. any thoughts out there? If you think this could cause it should I wait till gas is low before trying to get broken pieces out (If indeed that's what it is). or should I have a full tank of gas to try to remove broken pieces. I will assume that the pieces float and I would want a full tank to remove pieces easier. thanks rod
