Well after putting a little more gas in it this morning I’m 99% certain that’s the problem. Seemed to be running flawless and didn’t stall out or have trouble firing up.

Now I just got to decide what I want to do...it is pretty tempting just to leave it as I won’t be going on super long rides but 1/4 tank full sucks lol.

Very good, Yeah it sucks that it's only good for the top 3&3/4ish gallons. But that's still not a bad range........


EDIT:
Hey Hey looky here, it might be screwed in and it's replaceable

good catch!

JB Weld will hold up to gasoline. If you have a crack in the pickup tube, pull it out and clean it off really well. Smudge on some JB Weld, let it dry and put it back in. The 5 minute stuff would work fine in this case, and would cure overnight for a quick $5 fix.

Awesome! Thanks to both of you!!

I’ll pull it out and see if it just a little crack and JB weld-able! If not, $25 isn’t a bad price for the peace of mind knowing I can use my full tank of gas! [emoji16]

I once fixed a float for a fuel gauge on a jet ski with JB Weld, Fuel gauge on a jet ski is very important lol. The float was a sinker so I coated it with JB Weld and turned it back into a floater again

heh heh heh... he said floater... <insert beavis emojicon here>

I used it to fix the seat for the float needle on a carb for an old honda 4wheeler. Carb was no longer available and nasty. I messed it up trying to remove it, turns out that seat "looked" removable but wasn't. I goobered it up pretty good. Filled the whole thing with JB weld, drilled it out by hand so it was flat in the bottom again, and then drilled a new hole with my fingers on a drill bit to create a new hole for the needle to seat against. Worked perfect and it never had a problem!

Won't make that mistake again lol

Holy crap now that's some surgery at it's finest right there......

Reminded me of the carb I worked on a few years ago, a buddy had a pos Hyundai golf cart that someone had broken off one leg for the float hinge pin. So I built up another one with JB Weld, filed it down to match the other one then drilled it for the hinge pin, Success!!

Haha! Thanks guys!

Got busy all weekend and it was driving great with a full tank so haven’t messed with it yet. But, thanks for the input and ideas I’ll let you when I get it fixed and post some pics of the tube to help others.
