Thanks , I`ll do that

Ok , I,ve put a little over 150 miles on it with the fuel cap loose , and it hasn`t quit on me , the bog off idle is a compleatly different issue.
I`ve had the carb apart and cleanen it ( soaked it in carb cleaner for several hours then blew it out with compressed air) 4 times now. I cant even ...

I took it out on the country roads last night and rode 42 miles , with the gas cap loose and it never cut out , but I still have the bad bog from takeoff to 10 mph. then it takes off.
I tryed readjusting the carb. but it made little if any change.

Less than half a tank

I`ll try that first thing in the morning , hadnt thought of that one.
Thanks man.

you thinking the vent might be plugged , or is there another reason to leave the cap loose?

Ok , I removed the inline filter , and still the same thing , in almost the same spot on my way home from work. after about 30 min. of continuious wot. at 35 mph. it starts cutting out. until it finally dies. once it dies I hit the starter and it fires right up and runs fine the rest of the way home ...

I adjusted the screw out till i got the highest rpm then adjusted the idle down till the tire stops moving.
Please don`t scream.

Im having the same problem with mine , I rebuilt the carb , new reeds , and gaskets , new fuel line and vacume line, new plug ,new air filter , air cleaner is on tight . When it is cold it takes off pretty quick , but once it warms up it falls on its face when I try to take off.

I replaced the fuel and vacume lines , with clear blue ones and i put an inline fuel filter ( for my sons polaris 90) for added protection. I replaced the plug with the one that the manual recamends for extended high speed driving. I ride it 50 miles a day. 25 to work and 25 home.
Its been doing ...

I just replaced the plug , but I also flushed out the fuel tank , it had a bunch of rust and debris in it , It sat in the hot sun for a week before I put it back in , but i supose i could have missed a few drops of water. I suppose some dry gas might be in order.

I just rebuild the carb on my Elite-e and it seems to run good to a point , yesterday I rode about 30 miles and it ran great , this morning I rode it to work (25 miles ) ran great to work. Comming home from work it ran great for about 18 miles and then started cutting out as if i was turning off the ...

I just rebuilt my carb , Im replacing my fuel lines , and I wanted to check my fuel filter but somewhere down the line someone has replaced the fuel strainer with an automotive airconditioning orfice tube , and it was plugged solid.
I cleaned out the fuel tank but am reluctant to put another orfice ...

So Im assuming that a 68 jet would do the job?

I just learned that the exhaust on my elite e is restricted , if I remove the restriction what size jet do I use.
