Question iv been driving my smartech buggy that i just got a weak ago and all of a sudden i go to start it and i pump the fuel into the tank start it and it starts fine then just stalls strait away what do you think is wrong?
Answer Hi Max,
It could be a bunch of things. It for sure sounds like it's not getting enough fuel so you may need to adjust the needles a tiny bit...try about 1/8th to 1/4 of a turn out (counter-clockwise). Your engine will always need adjustments throughout its life. These changes are needed due to changes in weather, wear on the piston, type of fuel, and other factors. Check out your owners manual for more on adjustments.
