Just curious, when it does this, did you try switching to reserve, and get running results, or vice versa?

I had a dealership PRICE TAG inside my new bikes tank once. Over the course of a few months, the lamination on the tag finally softened, and some days "On/run" would die, so I switch to reserve ( even though tank was full of gas) and then randomly later reserve would die..then flip back to run/on. Then once or twice neither selection got flow. I drained the tank, and nothing came out. Same issue persisted a day or two later. I thenpulled the petcock, and drained the tank. Sure enough a soggy cardboardy laminated corner of price tag, was barely sticking out of the hole, where the petcock tubes went in.

Bottom line, wouldnt hurt to completely drain, and inspect the tank internal for weird, floaty, soft bits, that could be pulled into the tank main, and reserve tubes.
