Hello Everyone; 2016 SSR Pacifica 150 Issue is, it will stall completely under certain conditions. Generally starts fine and will continue to idle or rev while standing indefinitely. Has always had a tendency to foul while cold, so if you dont keep it running for the first two minutes -- you will have a hard start condition. other than that, it was always good. Lately, if you accelerate under high load condition, it will slowly lose power and eventually stall, regardless of throttle. I have always been able to re-start after waiting a full ten minutes or longer. best i can describe, it feels like fuel starvation. i have not torn into it yet, have not looked at fuel filter or pulled the plug. details are: after having it running smoothly and fully hot, took off on a high speed (50 mph) highway with annie on back (though shes tiny). pulled it wide open, and instead of cleaning it out, it just slowly lost power over the course of two miles, then stalled in traffic. got it started and fortunately limped it home on a lower speed road (30 mph).
the other condition was, just me on the bike, hit throttle hard in my parking garage uphill on a steep ramp. made it, but within 30 seconds of that, it stalled. always starts eventually. tank is max full. i was forced to switch to sunoco gas recently and this bike has not used it before. tank appears completely clean from the top. as i said, if you dont throttle under load, there is no issue with running, all way to 7,000+ rpm. no problem. carb which came with this has a sealed mixture cap which i have not drilled out. there is only 800 miles on the clock. i have read a couple earlier threads about fuel issues, which i will dig into.
does anyone have any ideas? anything would be appreciated!

SSR Pacifica 150Gremlin could be ignition related . . . If sparkplug electrode appears wet . . could potentially be a fuel petcock vacuum line deficiency . . .

I think your vacuum petcock is shutting at low vacuum causing fuel starvation as soon as the float bowl is empty try removing it from the fuel circuit. if that fixes it it's either a bad vacuum line or petcock most probably a vacuum line
