What causes a car to die after running for a few minutes?
When it is running, that gas in the bowl is burned up but there is something stopping the fuel from coming in fast enough to keep the bowl filled causing it to die. When you let it set for a few minutes, the fuel flow has time to catch up and fill the bowl back up.
Why does my trike die after 5 minutes?
You could be losing spark when your trike gets hot so maybe it needs a coil?Have you cleaned your petcock?My 200 did the exact same thing and it was the petcock and gas tank needed a good cleaining. Yeah. The fuel system is clean. Im sure of that.
What causes a car to start but not keep running?
The engine requires the right amount of air and fuel to mix together for ignition. If there is a fuel leak somewhere, then the correct amount of fuel may not make it to the combustion chamber. This might be enough to allow the engine to start, but not keep running.
Can a car start and die at the same time?
You’ll hear the engine turning and everything will seem fine. However, there may come a point in time when your car will actually start but then die almost immediately afterward. There is never a convenient time for your car to suddenly quit working on you when you have somewhere to go.
What to do when your motor dies after running for 5 minutes or so?
On some bad coils, the machine gets great spark until it warms up and then the coil goes out until the engine has time to cool down. Fire it up and as soon as it dies, pull the plug and check for spark. If you don’t have any, you will probably have to replace the primary coil.
Why does my car die after 15 minutes?
Why would letting it sit 15 minutes make it run perfect again. When its cold I can start it with one pull and sit there and stab the throttle and it revs real high. Its not till the motor starts to warm up that it dies. I’ve seen some other posts referring this problem as either ignition coil or stator coil.

Why is there no fuel in my carburetor?
If you can, try cleaning the fuel line out and replacing the fuel filter to make sure you’re getting fuel to the carburetor. Inspect the fuel pump for wear and loose or cracked hoses. If there is no vacuum in the hose, you’re carb won’t get any fuel. This is most likely caused by a crack in the vacuum fuel lines or a bad fuel pump.
What to do when your Outy 400 gets hot?
If the fuel is “vaporizing” in the line, the rubber fuel line would probably fail. You might check your rectifier and voltage when hot. Check your gas cap. If the vent in it is not working properly it won’t get fuel fast enough to fill the carb. As you run it it will drain the bowl and take a while to re-fill.
Why does my Outy 400 engine get hot?
It had about 1050 when we got it in the spring. The fuel system could be vapor locking or the fuel pump could be bad. It sounds more like a fuel pump issue since it runs fine when it is cool than when it heats up it sounds like the engine is starving for fuel.

Why is my gx150 running so rich?
Running rich (too much fuel in the air/fuel mix) could be caused by several things. The most common cause is a failing automatic choke unit. The choke on the GX150 carburettor is actually an enrichening circuit and in reality does not choke off any airflow at all.
