    From what I have read before I would say Relic has you covered.

    I had a similar situation with my Sportster a couple months ago. I accelerated up a hill and when I was almost to the top of the hill my bike just shut down and sputtered a few times. Tried to start and it would only try to start and sputter. Only had about 80 miles on the tank so I knew I had plenty of fuel. Waited about 5 minutes and it started up and ran fine. I stopped and topped off the tank just make sure and it only took about 1.5 gallons. Ran fine all the way home and ever since. The next day I pulled the filter screen out of the tank and it was mudded up about half way and I think that is why it acted like it was out of gas after going up the hill.
