Seems to try to die if not die when I go over bumps....It will lose power when going over larger bumps on the road and if I try to go through grass it wants to die.

Think this could be too much or too little gas in the float? I havent checked out the float yet and I know the previous owner had the chamber off it.

DEFINITLY a carb problem
take that sucker apart and clean it, make sure you have all the float assembly parts. i made this diagram for your assistance. good luck! any questions you know where to ask.

Probably is the carb as mentioned. But check the easy stuff first. Spark plug wire..................wires to coil..................

mine does that too, i think it is just the fact that when you go over a bump the float goes up with the gas so it floods itself, therefore loss in power. The grass problem....ummm don't drive on the grass?

check the coil/coil wires. it sounds like it misses right? check that.

It doesnt miss......seems like it floods out....

I checked the float and all and everything looked perfect...

as i said...it might just be the float moving up with the gas in the bowl, making it flood. mine does that but after a sec or two, it goes back to normal.

Ya....same. It will go back to normal, but it is quite annoying.

Mine does this too, worse if you're just starting out (like rolling out of the driveway.)
