    Don't know for sure but the low speed may be to lean. Try the pinch test. If it dies right away then it is too lean.

    good luck

    you could also add more fuel line from tank to carb so the gas takes longer to run out
    If you live in or near Chicago please check the "chicago" thread in the track/buddy locator section and come bash with us - go to the last page for the latest or read the whole thing - later

    that is what I was thinking but it runs out immediatly and I have more line then some do. I mean the second it lands on its lid it shuts off. it makes me sooo mad. could it be a bad seal in the carb or someting?

    possibly but unlikely....

    you could check the cinch nut for the carb base and make sure it's tight.... your carb may be so loose on the motor that it falls out when you flip over?

    you do it too tight and it''ll crack the carb base

    yeah I cracked a carb base before doing that.... I just kept running it and it seemed fine but it was only a hairline crack.

    The pro .15 has a metal carb. I really don't see that as being possible unless your using a 3 foot breaker bar on it. And if you are, what are you thinking! The tiny crosswrench that came with the truck is plenty enough torque...
