Default Engine stops running
I have '00 carbed deuce. It will start fine and run for about 10 seconds, and then stop. It will only start again after the ignition is turned off and then back on. And then, it again runs for about 10 seconds and stops.
Any ideas, and how to diagnos them would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Smooth
And yes it has gas. When it quits, it is like you turned it off. And not die out, like you left the fuel off.
