mikejson 35 Report post Posted November 29, 2016 Got a 2014 Strikemaster Solo and I've isolated the problem to a gas tank overfill issue. These are the tanks that have no breather cap, but have a 1 way inlet breather line on the tank. It's located about 3/4 of the way up the tank. If I fill the tank so the gas is above the breather line, it dies at full throttle. Seems like it just isn't getting enough gas... idles fine, half throttle fine, but full throttle is ramps up the RPM and then dies right out. Think I'm on the right track? Cant run it with the gas cap loose cause these idiots made the cap at a 90 degrees when you are drillin so the splashing of gas makes it piss gas everywhere... Thoughts?

mikejson 35 Report post Posted December 11, 2016 I just dumped some gas back into the jug and it's fine. Degaz, you can keep your 50 lbs auger I'll take my 20 lbs auger, make some swiss cheese ice and still have enough energy left to fish 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
