Strange G16 fuel starvation issue
2001 G16 brought in, hadn't run in years. Guy bought it cheap. Needed ignition coil, battery, tune up / oil change, cleaned out tank & fresh fuel. Runs greats- for a couple minutes then stalls. If you keep cranking it sputters & has that lean burn smell. Then after cranking 10 to 15 seconds it seems to "catch up" and runs great - smooth & good power for another couple minutes till it stalls again. Cleaned the existing carb - made no difference. Tried a different carb - made no difference. replaced all the hoses, including the pick up tube in the tank - made no difference. Tried an electric low pressure pump - no difference. Through all attempts it continues to have spark while it cranks. Any suggestions?

Re: Strange G16 fuel starvation issue
Just a thought but the coil could possibly be defective, especially if it’s a Chinese knock off.

Re: Strange G16 fuel starvation issue
Finally got back to this one & figured it out. There was some type of restriction in the muffler. I have to say I've never experienced such a thing in a 4 stroke cart. Doesn't smoke or use oil. No external signs of damage. Near as I can figure it would build back pressure as it ran until it wasn't able to draw fresh air/fuel into the cylinder. Once it blend off that back pressure it would run just great again, until the next event. Swapped in a muffler off another cart and the problem is gone.

Had this happen several times at the lake on different carts.

Re: Strange G16 fuel starvation issue
That sounds more like carb / throttle / governor adjustment.

Re: Strange G16 fuel starvation issue
leaking air box or carb needs a good carb cleaning/soaking to remove varnish build up
