Help! starts right up, dies right down 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be Ben on  Fri Dec 1 06:57 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Like I said, it starts right up, then immediately will die. If you play with the

accelerator you can coax it alive, but it takes real patience and determination

to get the rpms up, then it will sound like it's running and then conk out. It's like

an oscillation of everything ok, then totally dead, then ok, then dead; you keep

it running by having the rpms high enough so that engine can coast through the dead zone.

I checked resistance in temp coolant sensor.... ok

Spark looks ok.....seems to be firing strong during the dead zone.

Cleaned all fuses.....seemed to improve! Longer alive zone, shorter dead zone. Maybe it was my

imagination.

Fuel delivery seems fast and strong (low tech remove fuel feed-in method and see how fast you

can fill the can)

Getting too cold up here in Maine to be out fiddling with the winter beater.

Sure would appreciate some advice!
