Default another fuel problem

my g16 has a clean fuel tank, a cap that vents, a brand new Yamaha fuel pump & filter, & all fuel lines were blowen out & checked for cracks. it will run strong for awhile then it will loose some power going up hill & never recover the power when on flat land I have noticed the fuel filter is almost empty when this happens is this normal some times it is 3/4 full & it runs good then. what should I check could something in the motor be bad? the compression is 155psi.

Sorry, don't mean to sound rude, have you taken the cab apart and cleaned it?

You might also check the coil. I fought with my Yamaha for weeks thinking it was something in the fuel system, and it was all the coil. Replaced that for $75, and runs like a champ now. Search "TCI" in the forums, and there are lots of posts about how to test it and replace it.

yeah I cleaned the carb when I put in the new jets. not sure how a coil would effect the amount of fuel that is in the fuelfilter? how does the motor create the pulses to run the fuel pump? is their a seal in side that could go bad ?

Sorry, my point wasn't that the fuel filter should be 3/4 full or more. Mine runs almost dry, ALWAYS, so don't just judge that you are or aren't getting fuel by the filter. For $5, you can get a spark tester, and visually see if you are getting spark after it gets hot.

You say you put new jets in the carb? Fuel/air mix is a tough one to diagnose...

the float bowl is full when I open the drain screw. also cranked the cart over with gas hose unhooked from carb & it was spitting fuel out every stroke no steady flow but it looked enough for the tiny carb.

"never recover the power when on flat land " even if you lift and slow down the press the gas again?
It almost sounds as if your are over shifting as in a worn belt or soft spring.

A coil can seem good until it warms up, but then it will completely fail, not get weaker.

brand new clutch & belt from don. if I let it sit for a day it will run better the next day or I can blow air in the tank to fill up the fuel filter & that seams to help. is their a problem with running it on steep hills

Just a thought, pull you line out of your tank and make sure there is not a small hole in it. It may be sucking a small amount of air through your pick-up tube in the tank.
