Cart is not running like a top
Ok here goes. Last year I popped a piston on my previous motor. So my buddy gave me another motor at the end of the year to put in. Well I ran it for about two weeks before putting away for the winter. It ran fine up till then. I put it away for the winter with 3/4 fuel in tank and I added sea foam to it. I also ran the sea foam through the motor per instructions. Now I put my battery back in it today and it started up with a little chokw (like normal) and ran it for about 1/4 mile than it bogged and died. Found out that the choke was stuck on!!! Lubed the choke cable and started it back up. Ran fine for about a mile than it started to slow down and stalled. Started it back up, but wouldn't run too well so I gave up. What do you think the problem could be?? Dirty carb? Bad fuel? or just plain stupidity for leaving it stored outdoors all **** winter? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

If stored outside, I usually recommend a full tank, so that air is not cycling in and out with temperature changes, and condensing moisture in the tank. Especially with E10 gasoline, really bad things happen when you get moisture in the tank. The water and ethanol mix, then separate out of the gas. And since the ethanol may be the primary octane booster in the gas, you now have a tank of low octane gas that may be excessively prone to detonation. It does sound a lot like either bad gas, or crud in the carb, or both. |
