A 94 Virago has both...the fuel petcock on the tank has strainer that sits inside the tank, you remove the petcock and the strainer is attached.
There is also an replaceable inline filter on the suction side of the fuel pump.
its running lean. make sure your fuel lines are are intact and check for anywhere else that the fuel system could be taking in air.by turning on the choke you are causing the system to run richer (by blocking the air) causing a higher fuel to air ratio but still not enough to keep the engine running under any demand. i am sure you will find something obvious since this started suddenly. good luck.
the feul of today is not the same as yesterday additives and oxygtiers are very different good or better for enviorment not so much for machine there are addivtives you can add that may clear the problem up for you if not pull carb and clean
Sounds like a fuel problem. Check for fuel tank vent plugged. Usually in the fuel cap. This problem normally causes the bike to stall but will restart after a few minutes. Usually runs for about five minutes and quits again. Try running with the fuel cap loose but not off.
You do have fuel in the tank? Pull fuel line from carburetor--turn fuel tap ON--fuel should run from line (into clean can or bottle). If none, the brass screen inside the tap body may be plugged. Remove screen and hold with pliers. Clean with carburetor cleaner from auto parts store. When you set choke, can you see anything happening? May have water in bottom of float bowl. Remove bowl to check (and clean).
your carb. is flooding the cylinder when its not running.it will cause ring damage.turn your gas pitcock off when not in use.get carb cleaned &adjusted.
