    Low rpm with racing fuel

    OK guys, I have a weird one. At least for me. I had an Intek engine with an animal cam, WF piston/rod, pvl flywheel/ coil and a 26mm mikuni knockoff.

    predator fuel gauge

    I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question, when I went to put gas into my Predator 212cc engine I noticed a orange thing in the fuel tank inside the fuel strainer that said fuel gauge??? How does that tell you how much fuel you got? Thanks! :confused:
