Help needed again. I have been having a blast with my MAX II but have one problem left to correct. It seems to run rough and stall when it gets warm. If I close the choke and try to start it, then open the choke and try to start it...........it starts back up. It continues to sputter and stall expecialy when going up any kind of incline. Any suggestions. I have replaced the fuel filter and cleaned out the gas tank. I have also put in new spark plugs and changed the oil. I tried to spray some carb cleaner inside but nothing seems to fix it. The odd thing is that it runs great for the 1st 20-30 minutes and then nothing but problems. If I let it cool down it will run like a champ again until it warms up. |

Sounds like you might have some dirt/junk inside the carb. You said that you cleaned out the gas tank. Were there any dirt in the tank? If so, then you have dirt in the carb. |

More things you can check.
Make sure you are not pinching your fuel line between the body and the seat. After you have closed it down, check to make sure the fuel line will slide freely.
Make sure the vent in your gas cap is working.
Make sure you have enough gas in the tank so when the intake is up that it still is covered with fuel (right side high with low fuel can suck air). |
