Why is there gas pouring out of my Exhaust on My 2000 Arctic cat ZR 600 Cleaned the carbs

One or more of the carbs is probably flooding due to worn float valves, dirty float valves, damaged floats or maladjustment...

Why does my Tao Tao 125 atv not start? It turns over but when i give it gas it dies. Then when i try more, careful not to give it to much gas. It will barely turn over. I have replaced the carburetor twice, it cranksbut after a day it won't.

Have you cleaned out the gas tank and made sure it is clean with no water. Have you replaced the Fuel filters.
Have you adjusted the carburetor properly. Have you ever replaced the spark coil, it could be bad. Have you made sure the air filter is clean and clear of any obstructions.

My 9.8 has a crankcase full of gas. Left fuel line attached and looks like gas blew into unit. Can I just drain and refill with new oil or do I need to do more?

Hello friend, if the crankcase if full of gas, observe if it's mixed with oil? If not verify the gas pipes it should have a leakage.but if mixed with oil then verify the oil seals and you change the oil.

Hello I have a troy bilt tb685ec 4 cycle string trimmer and its A joke. There is no choke and no adjustment screw for the air/fuel to be tuned. The thing will fire up and run for about 3 mins and die. Then wait about 5 mins for it to start up again and do the samething. It also will bog down and die if I hold it wide open throttle. Which isn't really full it's only 3/4 throttle maybe from sound and feel. The filter,oil, and gas are new. The plug is fairly new about an hour run time on it. When I pull the plug its medium to light gray in color making me believe it's running lean. Can I throw a carb from another TB and make it run or is there possibly just a clogged passage is the carb? I removed and cleaned it out with carb cleaner with no change. I'm stumped and after reading reviews on this model I'm thinking the trash is the best place for this machine. Any insite on a possibe culprit would be much appreciated. Matt

I have an 84 tri zinger 60cc. Where the fuel line connects to the carb, does this port lead to the the float needle? When I blow threw the port that the fuel line connects to I get no air flow. Hence, I'm getting no fuel to start the bike. Note, its fires up if I shoot a burst of carb cleaner. I have it soaking in gas I hopes of clearing it out. The rest of the ports flow fine. Anyway, I hope I've put enough info. Thanks Chris H

If the zinger has been setting for awhile, then the needle could be stuck in the seat. The jets could also be plugged.

New battery, gas in tank but bike wont start.When I push the starter, it gives a half turn and nothing more

Fully charge your battery first. Just because it is new doesn't mean it has a full charge.

I have verucci vc50ts-3m scooter it's getting spark and gas when I put can carburetor cleaner in the carburetor it'll start and then it'll stop what do I need to do I'm sending a picture of the moped

The carburetor is not sending fuel to the engine. It could be a stuck float or a plugged orifice inside the carburetor.

My xy150t scooter has ben sitting for along time it seems like the gas isn't getting to the moter

If you have tried starting it and it won't run, pull the spark plug and see if it's wet with unburnt fuel (indicates an ignition problem). Drain the fuel and top it up with fresh fuel if it has been sitting for a long time. Make sure the air filter is clean. To do a diagnostic start, take the air filter and moisten it with fresh clean fuel (enough fuel so it's not dripping out everywhere), reinstall the primed filter and attempt to start it. When it starts, open the throttle up and run it hard. The engine will struggle to pull fuel but with some luck it will then run normally. If this doesn't work first try, repeat the process. It may have water contaminated fuel in the lines and won't clear immediately. Good luck.

I have a 2000 f150. It cranks but wont start. The truck has been sitting for a little over a year. Original problem i thought was the ignition. Upon trying to fix, a friend made the pat system take over. Lol i have had the truck reprogrammed and now the pat system is clear. I changed out the ignition, but found that this so called friend did all they could to hotwire the truck. Long story short...i have had to replace battery, battery cables, terminals, all fuses and relays in both boxes, rewire the fuel pump down by gas rank area, changed all the fluids and filters except fuel filter. I have 12v reading off. Battery but only 10 at plug and coil. Tje truck turns over and over but will not start. What have i missed? Im taking out injectors and plugs and cleaning them all now, but if that doesnt allow the truck to start what should i do?

what you missed was good advice to run the fault codes first
would have saved a lot of money and energy
you missed the immobilizer that is not letting it run
