rib33024 · 04-22-2009, 02:39 AM

when I spray gas in the carb it runs but won't run on it's own fuel is pumping

Do you know whether the fuel pump is working ok? Also does it run ok with the choke pulled all the way?

Try taking the bowl off the carb and check the float, I have 2 G1's and both of them I had to bend the tang on the floats to let gas come through them into the engine. Also check where the gas line connects to the card and make sure the gas needle valve is good.

ok will try that . can I unhook the oil enj and mix gas and oil

You sure can especially if you want to run it faster than stock. I have both of mine unhooked, dont forget to plug up the line or just bend it closed at your muffler. Lots of people swear by those oil pumps and claim they never wear out but I just dont trust them. Mixing the gas and oil you know for sure the engine is getting oiled.

I had an old cracked fuel line and it did the same thing.

Morning Ron hey I changed my fuel line coming out of the tank but the line they sold me had a large outside diameter. The center was correct but being it was so large outside I had to wire my fuel filter up so that the heavy line wouldn't pull the hose out of the tank. Can you buy the smaller diameter hose like comes on the carts?

Hi Calvin, yes you can buy the smaller size. Check with an auto parts store.
