Sounds like its not getting enough fuel to stay started. Look for clogged fuel lines and bad gas.

Testimonial: "think it is a fuel issue but the wiring is a joke someone has used bluetack on it in places ive never seen anything like it! thx for the suggestions guys"

SOURCE: burgman 250 will not start

Ck fuses and wire connections first. If no problem seen, get bike running and disconnect the ground cable @ battery. If bike dies the problem generally is in the stator or regulator assembly not keeping battery charged. Bike will run untill the battery is too low to keep the ignition system energized and the bike will die. If it continues running w/the ground disconnected, the battery could have a dead cell which will drain the battery in a very short time whether it is running or not.

SOURCE: my yz2f0f starts/runs (idles) fine while being choked...

sounds like you might have some trash in carb being a clogged pilot or main or needle seat in not letting in the proper amount of gas check all passages and use fresh gas if it has been sitting

2006 pontiac torrent starting issues

Hi James, I' glad to help!

James, usually I want answer a question unless I have all the information like the missing engine size in your question. BUT, Here goes. There is a possibility you may have an "IDLE AIR CONTROL" issue. What it does, is it idles the engine up during first starts until the engine reaches operating temperature then it will idle down to a preset idle. It also idles up during driving situation like when the A/C clutch turns on to compensate for the load on the engine. If I were working on your vehicle as a technician that's where I would start. Hope this helps and have an awesome day James.

So my snowmobile will not start without putting gas in the carb or starting fluid

Try to give it throttle as soon as it starts, hold it about half until the engine runs at a high rpm. Then keep doing that until it idles fine. You might have to adjust the idle and mixture screws. Good Luck!!

Car starts right up but 2 seconds dies, u can start it right up again & it dies again, won't run. has good spark & fuel pressure good when dies

You are on the right track by finding the injector pulse missing.
The computer grounds the injectors based on signals from the cam and crank sensors. You may have to use a scanner to check for trouble codes in the computer and watch the sensors work.
The problem could also be a relay or the key switch.

Fuel

check the fuel injectors on the throttle body as for it cutting off it sounds like there is carbon build up on your throttle body inlet valve take the hose off to the throttle body and get some throttle body cleaner and clean the inlet valve

My parents have a self propelled...front drive...walk behind 22in cut mower purchased at Home Depot 3 seasons ago.....I do the maintance on the mower....sharpen blade....change the oic/plug &...

Does the mower die right away (cuts out) or does it sputter to a halt. Sputtering out would indicate a fuel problem. If it just cuts out when hot, then more likely an ignition problem. Your coil may need replacing. Take a close look at the coil wire (spark plug wire) and its routing. Make sure it's not touching part of the engine where it's heating up and has caused a "leak" to ground it out when it gets hot. If all is well then check your spark when the engine is hot and cuts out. Make sure you have a very good blue spark and not a weak one (check it cold first and then compare!). Again, indicating a possible ignition coil problem. Hope this helps and best of luck to you.
