I'm probably idling too high. Now that its running right, I've turned the idle down a bit. This sled is suprisingly fast

Alright I think I've learned my lesson to check the easy stuff first. I was going crazy trying to figure out what was wrong with this. I thought I might as well pull the fuel line out of the tank (again) and check to see if it was blocked. I forgot that when I pulled it out the first time, the check...

it didn't used to when I was having the problem, but lately it has been spinning on the stand at idle

I didn't change the fuel filter yet, but it seems like fuel is passing through it fine. I cleaned out the tank vent a while ago when I was first having this problem.

I've got a 1976 Cyclone that has a Kec 440/22 with points ignition; probably from a jdx 8. I can keep it idling and ride it for short distances, but it always seems to die. It has spark right after it dies, and alot of the time there is fuel in the line running from the pump to the carb. I went thro...

I should probably start my own thread.. sorry for the hijacking ha ha

The fuel filter is clear and not plugged with anything. I was thinking that I might have a leak at the pulsator line, because the line that is on there right now seems to fit kind of loosely to the point where I can pull it off with my fingers without much effort . I don't have any clamps on it righ...

I'm not sure if I'm losing spark at higher RPMs. The plugs are bone dry when I look at them after it dies, so I don't think I'd be losing spark. I went through the carb again and cleaned everything really well. I pulled out the jets and everything that I could and looked it over. I also checked out ...

Yeah; I made sure all of the passages were clear and I cleaned the pilot jet as well.

I've got a problem alot like this, except i've replaced the crank seals, and all of the reeds look good. It seems like it will idle all day long, but once I open the throttle a bit, it seems like it starves for fuel. There's also a big air bubble inside the fuel line running from the pump to the carb.
