Plugged up exhaust?

Is the tank vented? If not, it might run until the vaccum becomes to much and starves the engine. Try running it without the gas cap. Hey it`s worth a try anyway.

bad fuel pump sounds like just sounds like a fuel dilivery problem

GruntyPants · 02-03-2006, 01:30 PM

Another thought, check any of the rubber fuel lines to see if they are being sucked flat... mine has rubber from the pump to the carb, and it they get old they do weird things.

68 short step · 02-03-2006, 01:40 PM

coil in dissy,.... i see you said its new but may be a bad new one

cdowns · 02-03-2006, 01:51 PM

to check fuel pump delivery disconnect line to carb put into jar crank engine for 15sec you should have at least a cup of gas--if not bad pump or clogged strainer in the gas tank/// hei dizzy?? is it wired correctly?? lots of people use the original wires (resistor circuit) and end up frying the modules due to lo voltage
