GST 7.7 problem high speed
When i start the genesis 7.7 it will idle great runs good at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle but if i run at full throttle for more than 50 yards or so it dies, acts like it runs out of fuel and wont push fuel through the line even when i hold my finger over the exaust, if i let it sit for a few minutes it starts like a champ but still does the same thing over and over, Im new at this and dont have a clue, putting in new glow plug today to try that, any more suggestions?

RE: GST 7.7 problem high speed
Sometimes when you are at about 1/2 tank, you can experience 1/2 tank lean. This means that the fuel to air mixture gets leaner than usual, and could be setting off your settings. Try to richen the mixture a bit and see how it goes. Make sure to try and check your temperature with either a temp gun, or using the spit test. If the temp is over 260 or so, it could be that the mixture is too lean.

Thanks to all for the help, I will check all. I did find that i wasnt getting a good seal from the exaust header to the pipe think that might have solved my problem. After i figured that out i lost a dang wheel and threw the pin that holds the wheel on.......I know I know....... anyway ordered parts from cen should get them later in the week ill let you know how it goes.
