I'm over the break in period and we're on about the 3rd tank of fuel now. After running it pretty hard up and down a grass covered field then slowing down to a complete stop. Then engine died on us. This happened 3-4 times overall in about a 30 min time period. Note that within a pull or two it started right back up and ran fine for a bit. Then it'd do the same thing again. But started up again fairly easily.
1... we were running the tank pretty low. Maybe a 1/4 inch of fuel at the time. Started thinking the bumps and fuel sloshing around might be the cause? Maybe it's not getting any fuel for a second and stall? Keeping in mind we broke it in the other day finally for prob and hr straight and no issues at all in a parking lot...opinions?
2... Seems it should have better acceleration and more power. Factory carb settings is where it's at now. Fuel I used is 89 octane and Yamalube oil. Mixture is 32/1. Any input on this setup? Seems a little boggy and when I pull the body off, behind the exhaust is small deposits of oil/fuel. I'm thinking it's running a little rich? Just a guess as I'm still learning this vehicle.
Any opinions are welcome. So please chime in
change the mixture 25/1?
Go to 91 octane?
Change the carb settings?...
Let me know guys. Thanks as always. Chris
