I wondered about the breathing part to. Meant to check that after the fact, but forgot. I was just gonna open the top and see. I've read some stuff about plugs in the carb too. So gotta see about that.

Also, I think the 3" lift is too much for the Phazer. Not enough track on the ground. Did your buddy do it to his yet?

I know the plugs need to be in the right spots and I think maybe the manual is wrong but not sure. This site has the plug information somewhere. If you don't find it let me know.

He has not done it yet. Any recommendation?

Edit: I think the plugs need to be over the main and pilot?

I'm planning on drilling another hole right in the middle and have about a 1 1/2" lift. There is only about 8"-12" of track on the ground with me on it...

I just found that on the plugs. I had the carbs off, and don't recall any plugs but I will look.

I don't have a lot of time to get this thing figured out...

You definitely need those plugs to have it run right.

Mark probably weighs almost twice what you weigh so we will try it where it is and adjust from there.

I am meeting that guy to look at my shock tomorrow morning but I am afraid he won't be able to help me. I don't think he can get parts and the bottom is toast on mine.

Yeah, it's worth trying then Jay. It's fine in the snow too, it's just anything else. Once Cary is on it I bet 4" will be on the ground! lol

Well, I will check all the non-carb stuff first tomorrow and see. Problem is it will run good for at least 10 miles before I know...

I hope he can, but yeah it looked pretty bad.

Tell them to be thankful you aren't using their yards too!

You know you are welcome to bring it over to work on it. Short trailer trip to the trail

I should just use them!

I'll keep that in mind. It's still sitting in the truck and you know more about these things than I do...

I would bet money that it is not the carbs Dave. When you opened the tank I never heard any rushing air. I had the breather plug up on a tractor before and you could hear the air when you opened the tank, and when you filled it it only went .1 miles before it acted again. It must be the pump or a cloged filter. If you take the fuel line loose at the filter would gas run out if it is not running.

That's the thing Lee. It worked perfect otherwise. So it has to be supply related. I do recall not having good flow with the filter off. So I need to check inside the tank first.

Jay, half the battle is experience messing with them.

Carbs, pump, or filter are most likely. Carbs especially if you do not remember seeing any little black plugs.

Edit: I know we can figure it out
