Thanks, I'll try all those things. I'll be replacing the fuel hose/bulb
assembly next trip.

Actually, I just remembered something. I was on two lakes this weekend.
Roosevelt and Apache in Arizona. The first day was on Roosevelt, where
these problems occured. The last time it happened, we took some carb
cleaner and sprayed it into the carb while the engine was running.

After that I trailered over to Apache lake and the problem never cropped up
again there. Apache is a much smaller lake though, so I didn't get the
running time like I did on Roosevelt.

I figured it was something in the fuel system, but wanted a second opinion.

I guess my checks/fixes from here a
1. Replace fuel line/bulb.
2. Check vent on fuel tank.
3. Check fuel hoses under the cowl.
4. Check pickup in fuel tank
5. Clean/rebuild carb?

Is it ok to run something like Berrymans 44k fuel system cleaner through the
tank on a 2-stroke?


Thanks,
Buster

Wierd thing happened this weekend.

[snip]

Its running out of fuel. The increased power is from leaning out, and then
it simply dies from fuel starvation.

Since it just came up on you, I suspect some dirt in the carb(s) or some
other fuel blockage.

Good luck.
