smgchandler 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2011 i have read several topics about similiar problems but would ike to ask if the tank itself is vented can this become clogged somehow - if i get out on the road and run for a few miles as fast as the mule will go then it dies out on me - its as if the fuel pump cant keep up because if i stop for a few it will corret itself and run ok then - i have adjusted valves and cleaned tank new fuel and filter new carb and it runs great other than when i open it up for a few miles - is the cap vented or can the vent for the tank be stopped up- are there vented caps for these tanks or is this cap supposed to be vented and maybe the gasket has the vent hole stopped up - i cant tell by looking at it - thanks for the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocmoc 12 Report post Posted April 26, 2011 Tank has to be vented or recirculated back to the fuel intake system (smog setup). Sounds like you have just a tank so there has to be a vent on the tank or in the cap. Don't fill the tank full, leave the cap loose or off and take it for a run. If it has a carb, sounds like a the float bowl setting. The floats are set too low and you are running out of fuel. Good luck, rocmoc n AZ/Mexico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
