Some of u may remember my post from a couple of days ago. Engine ran great all last weekend other than the fact that it wouldn't rev out like I think it should. It had a gas leak which I found to be a bad line. I replaced the lline tonight, no big deal right? Wrong:mad:Now it doesn't leak gas but runs like crap! I'd be better off putting the leaky line back on:(. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.:confused:

Some times when replacing fuel lines or even the first couple time a engine is ran after sitting for a while the varnish scale in the lines or gas hose comes loose and messes up the carb, you may have to clean the system
