Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out abit with my fg.
This car has always been nice to me, never any troubles..
always runs nicely and good.

but then something happend, i died on me once, i was like hmm, ok went over and started it again, ok i guess and tought nothing more about it, as it was ok again.

Then this other day me and some friends took some cars for a spin.
and i made a little jump with it, turned out it wasn't a good one :P so i did about 20 or so frontflips down the sandy hill..

and it died, seemed like it didn't get any gas, so after a long time messing around with the fuel and using the choke a bit to get it running "it just died after 2-3 sec when the gas was burned out" then i gave it all it had, and it came around, "thought ok, i got poop in my carb, and it worked after that, than it started acting stupid again, i let it rest and it was ok, and so on and on true the day, i came home cleaned it up and gave it another go, it worked, i was a happy man, then the eng got hot, and it died again ...
and now i cant get it running at all, it starts for 2-3 sec then it dies..

Here is a little link with a vid just to show you how it was before it went all dead on me, acting stupid and such =)

When you hear it starting to act stupid at the beginning, i was at full throttle btw, else it would quit on me at once..

Any tips at all, would be a help..

has the headbolts come loose by any chance? maybe air leak.when it does run for a short period does it run smotth or does it fluctuate on idle?

just seen the video, mine acted like this when the diaphram in the carb got abit baggy/creased, but was because i had a vent issue with the fg gas cap. sounds like it may be running abit rich??
 
yeah, tho that is ok, but the fact that it wont start at all is kinda my prob atm :P
think im gonna go for one of em carb kit's..

Got some time to check it out today, and it pretty much seems to be 100% for me, everything is clean sparkplug is igniting, headbolts are good, everything is ok, but it just wont go with me,
is there a carb curse around i don't know about here? :/
