^only video i got thanks to my gopro battery going dead

ok, so wtf is up with this? i have a feeling i wasnt picking up anough fuel or something along those lines. sled ran awesome all day long. rode up to this hill, shut it off for a minute and then went for a rip. got about half way up a long pull and BLEH....it fell on its face and i went back down. wondered wtf was goin on so i made another poke up the same hill and watched the gauges. AF was running 12.4 12.6 WFO and then all the sudden at the same distance up the hill it would go lean (17 and up then gauge would shut down) and fall on its face, if you let off and got back into it it would run normal.....for about 3 seconds then do it again. went back down, discovered i toasted a belt. changed it out in a few minutes and tried it again but the problem got worse....way worse. let it sit for a bit while i checked all the wires and stuff and it went back do doing the same thing it was when the problem started. i was running pretty damn low on fuel so could this be the pick up in the tank not getting enough fuel, let off, then it catches up for a second? ran fine on the trail on the way out too.

if your getting super low on gas, long pulls will test your system, all the gas is stuck in the back of the tank. fill it up and see if she does it again, and if its at all repetable.

Hmmm.... Mine was doing that too. I replaced my fuel pump and its not doing it now. So far just 1 ride since replacing.

Damnit Jim, accidentally gave u bad rep again :s damn day fingers and iPhones! Anywho, how much are then fuel pumps?

Also check your y pipe exhaust donut. Mine cut out at WOT when the donut blew out from boost...

Got the fuel pump off ebay for $98 shipped. Not sure that's your problem though. Definitely check all your exhaust connections. I had some loose bolts on the turbo exhaust inlet flange piece on the turbo from vibrations no doubt.
Mine ran like a raped ape on Sat. but had a hard time keeping my afr down again.

ill be sure and check everything.

You got lucky on that one! Mind totally cut out for some reason 15ft from the top of the hill and the sled and I went for a tumble. Talked with Justin and Corey and sled still don't run right. Checked for boost leaks and I didn't see anything out of order....waiting to hear back from Justin the past few days

I believe my problems are due to low fuel level. Goin fir a ride tomorrow so Ill find out tomorrow.

 

[ragincajun]
