i guess everything breaks down eventually....

My guess is water in fuel,had this happen before.

thanks! i'll look into it.




the oil injection works but for the first tank i mixed it just to be safe , could it be getting to much oil?

 

[TheLonelyIsland]

think i got it! none of the air hose clamps were tight , not even close,..



gonna test it in a sec........warming up lol

 

[mudhunter]

If that's not it ( which makes sense), I'd lube up your choke cable and throttle cable if possible and the connections at top and bottom... If it won't do what it's supposed to it won't run...

or did it conk out again, if it died again, remove tank and clean thoroughly, probably full of crap, which can be expected if it has been sitting for a long time like it sounds like it has.
takes a while to get it all out, did a guys sled a couple years back took us about 1hr or so of flushing and rinsing to finally get the tank clean, that crap, evaporated fuel, is like friggen glue in there.

my sled has been down for 4 months now.....

i just kept flushing with new gas, that way you get no outside contamination. same same stuff in tank
somebody else may have something better though.

so just put new gas in and shake it around?

 

[maxwell]

ya watch the fumes though joey...

 

[Popsiclestand]

I think your a little late throwing out that warning Maxwell.

But seriously just keep rinsing until the gas comes out clean.

Yep eventually it should come out clean remove all fuel lines and rinse out as well. Will also have yto redo your carb again as all that crap makes it back to the carb and is in everything to that point. Good luck.

Joey, did you take out the screen on top of the fuel shut off (in the tank) ?

Take out the shut off, clean the screen, while cleaning the rest of the tank

 

[TROLLCAT]

sorry about the spelling you will like this go the drug store buy 4 large jugs of isioproply alcohal only chit I know that will melt the crap in your gas tank #2 hand full of ball bearing dump it in the tank & shake the chit out of it. It will look like brand new inside, use a magnet to retrive ball bearings don't beat the filter screen to death remove it

Fuel when left can be a major problem.My bike had sat for four years when I bought it and the tank and carb were full of varnish.Took a week in a dunk tank to get it cleaned.Flushed the tank and put an inline fuel filter in it and works great now,Seafoam also helps alot used it in the old gas and let it sit for the week as well.Cleaned it up good
