The bike runs fine on reserve. I guess the issue is the petcock. I just took it on a spin and there was no dying at idle. I sprayed some carb cleaner around the boots/carb/vac lines to see if there was any change in the tach, and there was not, so the vac issue must be happening in the petcock. Im still not sure about why my taillight was flickering that day when my friend followed me, the battery is fine and connections look good. Ill have him follow me again later when it gets dark to see if it still is happening, i dont know how it could be related to the petcock but we'll see.
