Hi. i have a eton 90 viper(belive its a 2001).. when i start it up and give it some gas it dies on me? at first i could barly press the gas and it would go very slow.. then if i tried to speed up or floor it it would die instantly first thing i figured was the throtle was turned up to high? but im clueless on this stuff if anyone has any ideas how to help me plz do...

Thx

 

Clogged fuel filter, pinched fuel line, out of gas, clogged spark arrestor...I'd start with those.

 

See less than a half an hour since you moved it help is on the way. =]

Make sure you report your findings on what he said to check and if that doesn't fix it I'm sure he will take you to the next level to check.

 

ok just replaced the 2 fuel lines it has... reserve tank and regular tank today..that got it running.. has gas... but how could i check those other 2 clogged fuel filter and clogged spark arrestor? not sure where they would be or what it is exactly.. i really new to this kind of stuff... and trying to fix this stuff myself... instead of handing out a lot of money to someone else... unless i have to have someone else fix id rather not..


edit.. yea love how fast the replys are [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Clogged fuel filter - remove fuel line. You should have a steady flow to the carb. If not, go to Wally World and buy one in the auto section for about $4.

Spark Arrestor - Look for some screws on your silencer. Pull it out and wipe it, spray it or soak it.

 

ok ill try this tomarrow prolly... getting late here and dark out.. but thanks for the info will check it out and post back then. thanks
