Well, it got worse...
Before (like two weeks ago) the buggy would need a spritz of carb cleaner, and it'd start up (after a second or two of cranking) and then have to sit for a minute before I could gas it at all. Now, it BARELY starts with carb cleaner, then it promptly dies; whether I gas it or not. The longest I got it to run was 8 seconds... I took off the air filter (damn I need a UNI) all clean, I just took off the carb, and I was in the process of removing the fuel bowl and one of the screws is stripped
so right now I'm waiting for the dremel to charge so I can grind new notches in the screw head for a flat-head screw driver instead of Philips. Anything you guys recommend I test/tweak? It was running perfectly last fall after the ($200) shop visit... Like 1/4 second start perfect... Man this sucks. Anyway, I'm off to test the auto-choke.
Thanks ahead of time for any response! Hope to see some of ya fellas on the trails later this year!
