I vote Mary Ann...

Now stop Jacking my thread! Jeeeezuz...... :redguy:


Update:
I started to drain the fuel. Full tank BTW... It was flowing slowly and taking dayz to fill a damn gas can. When the tank got to about 4 gal left it stopped flowing. I think the carb was getting enough gas to run, but when it needed alot it leaned out. I am going to run a hose from the electric fuel pump to try and drain the rest if I can. Pulling the tank in the buggy is looking like a pain in the ass and I am going to try to avoid that route.

Personal opinion about the 009....

I think the average person could not tell the difference in performance between a QUALITY 009 and a 010 in a direct swap on a stockish motor that didn't have a 34PICT-3 Carb. I've had bigger performance gains swapping exhausts......

i would start by adjusting the valves and checking the fuel system.. good luck....
a tight valve will cause power loss....then again so will a worn out motor
it will be something simple
good luck

my 009 ran just fine on any motor ive had....grant it the big cap runs better on the 1385 cc i have now...but i still carry the 009 as a back up
