A little background... it's several years old and always ran like a champ I just let it sit for 6 months like an idiot. Life got in the way.
So last week I drained the tank, removed the carb, cleaned it out, changed the oil, and put some "Mechanic in a bottle" in to the tank. After all of that, it ran and stopped multiple times and smoked a ton. Finally it got to the point where it would idle for hours. It revs up fine. The second I push the grey fuel
tab from "start" to "run" it cuts out. If I'm applying a little pressure to the throttle when I move the tab, it keeps running and revs like hell up to 4000 rpm. The moment I let go of the throttle, it dies again.
My knowledge of engines is limited so I'm hoping someone can help. I have done the hemi stage 2 upgrades on another predator I have and that's about the limit to my understanding. Any help is greatly appreciated! I really want to get this up and running for my sons. Thank you in advance.
