- Sounds like dirt or sediment blocking the in-line fuel filter if you have one or the fuel line itself may be filled/clogged with sediment. The same symptoms you mention happened to a friend's TR-250

- Another thing to keep in mind is don't get gas when the tanker truck is filling the pump tanks at your local gas station. The gas going into the tanks can stir up sediment on the bottom. If your pump

- Not sure if this is the answer or not - I've seen the several fuel-related suggestions and that seems like a possibility. However...once had a Datsun 510 sedan out in a sleet/snow/rain mix and could

- On my Chevrolet products, there's a "stove" on the exhaust manifold. Intake air gets to the air cleaner via 2 routes: cold & hot. There's a vacuum motor (Air-Thermac or something) that opens when the

- Hey Chad, Just like most others, I would suggest checking the fuel system. If you have an electric fuel pump, I would removed it and clean it out, either by soaking it or spraying gumout through it.
