The Golden Shot Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 it could be a lot of things, timing, lack of oil, carb, thrown a ring, by the sound of it its on the way out if its betting hot after 30secs, might even be in the throws of seizing who nows, if you find the source let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studly256 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Sounds like Niddle Valve sticks Also,sounds like someone tinkered with the float bowl Or shit in the gas. You Say it will run awhile then shut down then won't start for a few days.(Is it hard to start as in shit load of kicks-turn overs before it will fire if so) Will when it don't want to start try Pulling the plug and dump a little oil down the cylinder. Then put the plug backin then try to start it if it tries to fire you got a bad ring.. could be head gasgit or oil pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator YamaHead Posted May 13, 2007 Moderator Share Posted May 13, 2007 Sounds to me like you might have a vacuum leak somewhere. Which makes 'em hard to start & also get smokin' hot after a short period.....NOT good on pistons! Possibly a head or base gasket could be the culprit.
