Zamboni Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 It sounds fuel starved, change filter-ensure bulb is not collapsing when running-vent is open on tank? Does the engine pick up if you pump the bulb when its sputtering out? How about the carb....is your float moving freely or stuck pushing needle preventing carb from calling for fuel?....or old gas varnished up carb orifices?
Guest Johnny Bass Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 I had a similar problem and it was the fuel pump. But I would check the filter, make sure its not clogged and check the fuel connections in the gas line. It could also need new spark plugs. But more likely it is a fuel related problem.
BITEME Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 first things first Fuel filter spark plugs look for cracked lines bent choke mechinism run some sea foam through it tap the carb tanks it might losen a stuck float try all this first and get back to us i do know people that can do this
sonny Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Definatly fuel and I have to agree with johnny,,,sounds like a pump,,but just remember without looking at it "it's a guess"
