maverick enginge probs

[tonygoole1]

hi all i have a maverick blackout v2. just finally run my 2nd tank of fuel at 1/2 throttle.


on my 3rd tank now and using full throttle, well..... after about 2-3 mins engine cuts out.


start it up again 1-2 mins later engine looses power and slows down ( like been choked) soon as i let go of throttle it stalls.


starting feels like the choke is on, once fired up and you let go of throttle it stalls.


any advice please

Welcome. Try venting the gas cap.

Check the idle screw +1 on tank vent

Thanks for the replies. When you say vent the cap,is it just a case of unscrew the cap let air out and put it back on?

I used to have a different petrol car and that had a tiny hole in the cap and this one doesn't.

If the venting works which im sure it will,is there anything i can do to prevent the problem in the future?

Thanks again

+2 on tank vent

 

[tonygoole1]

sorry, it does have a tiny tiny hole the size of a pin hole. i wonder if it could be blocked ?

The hole is to small make it bigger the fuel tank needs air to enter. There is a few different ways to vent the tank I'm unable to post pics ATM but I'm sure someone will post a pic.

thanks gts, in gonna try the cap off my boat see if that fits

 

[tonygoole1]

Boat one does not fit. Anyone got any pics on how to vent the tank?

Or you can use the snappy gourmet

I prefer the snappy grommet keeps its clean looking

Re: maverick enginge probs

I use parts from two kits of the Fullforce rc fuel line kit with a new tank grommet and a dirt bike gas tank valve.

Re: maverick enginge probs

Nice stuff you use there

 

[larryo]

If you got a hobby shop close to you see if they have this in stock.It works good and cheap also for gas.

Hi guys I vented the tank with a pit bike breather. A little bit of tube with a blue ionised cap with a hole in it. Worked at treat. Thanks everyone for you advice.
