I was testing the maximum speed of my ride for the first time. I had the throttle full open most of the way (for maybe 3 miles) with a few short breaks at stop lights. The power was awsome. Then on a slight downhill slope I had her at full speed. Then the motor lost power rather quickly and sounded to me like she was being severely choked, had no pwer at all (sort of having trouble running or running out of gas). I pulled over and let her idle which she did but with a muffled sound and when I gave some throttle it died. Then I tried the choke on full and that helped her run a little better (normally when I choke it just kills the motor so I don't use it). So I choked it and reved it a little and it ran for about 10sec and died. Then I unchoked it and started it again and the symptom dissipated and I rode home with full power again.
Then It leaked gas on the foor when it was parked. The gas wasn't coming out of the overflow tubes. It came out between the air cleaner and carb.
Fule line clogged? That's just my guess cuz of the improvement when I choked it. Balanced out the air/fule mix. I'd love to hear what a real small engine Mech thinks. Or even an amature one.
