On my 2000 mangum 325 it starts fine at first, then it dies in 5 mins after running, then wont start untill atleast a day later, what is wrong? u think its due for a oil change, or what??
thanks

check to make sure your vent lines arent blocked. also next time it does it take off the fuel cap and see if it starts back up.

 

wut vent lines

 

also when it does start...a couple days later...it looks like smoke comes out of the belt drive snorkel...scarey stuff! help lol

 

the vent lines that come from the carb that run to the handle bars.

 

ok ill check that out and post back , thankss alot stendori

 

I was gonna say the same thing. I had my steering stem bushings replaced once under warranty and the same thing would happen when I got it back. I checked it out myself and here the dumb @sses clamped my vent lines into the steering shaft!!!!!! Some dealers have such morons working there!!!

 

im not sure whitch lines are vent ones coming from the carb , can someone post a pic, there are so many tubes coming form there im not sure witch ones are for the vent[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
and when i pull them off they should be simple to clean, just blow threw them, and what would cause this to only start a couple days later?
thanks alot, all of u have been a great help to me

A plugged fuel filter will do the samething.

 

hmm i should check that out too, where can i clean that thing?
