Maybe it might just be me but when I take right turns and with a gallon or less of gas in the tank the motor starts to stall since the petcock is on the left, the gas flows to the right and starving the carb anyone experience this?
can this even happen...:loony:

I also noticed in the tank there is crap floating maybe inner tank coating shit :confused: I guess I will have to blow out the tank before the next fill-up or do it now? would this cause the first issue of stalling to?

Any Helpful! advice please :up:

I would clean the tank imed. With crap in there fuel flowing will always be pulling it toward the petcock and you may have some build up. Could cause some starvation. Also may want to check for crap in the carb bowl.

This is odd. There is certainly enough fuel in a float bowl to make it around a righthand turn. Clean the loose tank lining out of the tank, I would also remove white valve in the bottom of the fuel cap if yours' has this style of cap. If the problem persist, my question would be does it still happens when the fuel valve is switched to reserve?

Must be junk in the carb bowl, too - otherwise, there's plenty of fuel for any turn. Ask Gas Man - he had the whole system choked up with sand.

Maybe U should check into a filter for the system but be carefull some of them will not allow proper flow, It wouldn't be a bad idea to clean the tank carbs have some pretty small veins in them and it doesnt take much for shit to stroke them out.:down:

Yeah I installed a Pingle fuel filter on my chop after i started getting alot of sand out of my tank. I'm betting it was there from the factory.

Get a pingle. I have had mine on my chop almost all year and not only has it gave me NO problems, it gives you a great piece of mind.

GOOD FUEL FILTER
