I just became owner of a sweet lt185, cleaned it up good and got her running mint. The inner child in me saw YouTube videos of guys running some pretty good wheelies, and when I tried for myself I found that the motor cuts out after several seconds of holding the wheelie. Any suggestions as to why it's doing it? Any help with this thing would be huge, I'm sure I'll have tons more questions as I rip into this thing deeper.

 

Carbs with float chambers do not work above a certain angle, that is why chainsaws, hedge cutters, brushcutters etc, have diaphragm pump carbs instead. The oil pump may not be sucking in oil either, so be careful of how long you stay up.
