05 rx1 problem again

[timebomb]

i had problems at the beginning of the season getting my rx1 running. turned out to be real bad gas and dirty carbs and plugged needles. then it ran fine for the season though i only put 70 miles on it. now i can't get it running to put it on my trailer and put it away for the summer! it started normal the other day and quickly started to run like crap and barely idle though it ran perfect probably 2-3 weeks before that. it eventually quit and i haven't had it running since. i pulled the plugs and # 3 and #4 cylinders were flooded which i thought was wierd since i never flood it. i spun it over without the plugs and it shot alot of gas out of 3 and 4, especially 4. i put new plugs in and the same result. i let it sit until today and tried it again, it started on 2 cylinders and quickly quit and now it won't start, it just sputters a little. i have spark on all 4 and the airbox is clean. i found a kinked fuel line(wierd since it has ran perfect) from the pump that runs 3 and 4. i fixed that and figured i found the problem but it still won't start. i just walked away, can't figure it out. this is real frustrating espcially since i had such a problem getting it to run right 3 months ago and now it won't run so i can put it away any help would be great

I would take the carbs apart again and make sure the jets pilots and inlet needles are clean. Sounds like the float is sticking and the inlet needles has junk sticking it open. The gas is so crappy it dont take long for it to cause problems.

Yes you have to clean the carbs agan and this time get a bottle of mechanic in a bottle and put some in the gas. In fact I would try the mechanic in a bottle first with clean dry plugs.

thanks, i have startron in it but i figured taking the carbs off would be the next step

I always have a filter my funnel when filling with a 5 gal gas can. It is unbelievable what you see at the bottom of a gas can or when you pour the last few drops out onto the filter.

took the carbs off and drained the bowls. # 1 and #2 had a little bit of gas in them. #3 and #4 had ALOT of gas in them. what does this mean?

 

[MrSled]

Inlet needs that feed the bowls maybe sticking.

 

[timebomb]

Would them sticking keep it from running? They were stuck closed before and it wouldn't run.

 

[MrSled]

If they keep sticking a little back and forth... Yes

Ok. Thanks for the help
