    Maybe gas is degrading too. If you can get it to stay running drive it around to burn up the gas and put new in. Just a thought.

    To possibly avoid tearing it apart you could add fresh gas and a double dose of Seafoam. It might clear out. The fact that it will idle a whole two minutes then die sounds funny though. What happens if during that time you give it throttle both in neutral and in gear?

    While in neutral it will reeve up haven’t tried it in gear. I put sea foam in and ran it for a little while. Will try it again in a little while.

    Don’t forget fresh gas. Seafoam is good for cleaning but fresh gas is important to get it going too.
    It runs and you can rev it for 2 minutes then it dies? Does it die by low idle or will it also die while you have the rpm’s up?

    This is key. Everything depends on the answer to this question.

    Problem with the gas valve not turning on all the way starving gas to motor
