My wife took Thing for ride with grand kids today, called with bad news would not stay running. When I got there thought may be fuel issue filter, vapor lock or no fuel. Would start idle rough found only running on (2) cylinders ????, any suggestion?
Thanks for any comments. |

If its one side and you have a single carb, look for a vacuum leak on the intake. I have seen side of the engine dead when one of the manifold boots was bad or loose.
