Was driving the cub to work.  Cold out side so had it started for 15 min before I left.  Drove about 2 miles no problem then all of a sudden started to loose power, push gas to the floor to get off the side of the road.  Once turned off the road continued to put along so figured would get to a spot to be able to figure out.  Once I stop the engine died, and will just crank over and not fire.  Checked fuel filter no clog, has spark.  The oil was low but no light came on.  No sure if there is an oil kill switch or if the starting kill switch deal is malfunctioning.  Any help or ideas would be great.

 

Thanks

Been below freezing.  When checking the filter it had a strong flow.  I was going to check the inlet to the intake.  But haven’t messed with that before so not sure what to look for.

It just sounds like the fuel supply was restricted. I don't know if it's safe to use some dry gas, but I wouldn't think it would hurt, and it would get rid of any ice that possibly could be there. 

Does it have good spark?

Yes the spark is strong.  I will mess with the fuel supply lines this weekend.   One thing I noticed is that it has the safety start deal where the brake has to be pushed in to start, even to crank it over, now it does it without the brake on, so thinking that may have something to do with it.

      I have a 2016 550, ive tryed the hisun website and seems i cant get parts there. I would like to add power steering, have seen a few "kits" on ebay
      for the 750 not sure if its the same parts needed for the 550, there is a factory bracket already welded to the frame above the standard steering rack, is this to be used
      to mount the eps motor? There is also a grey plug hanging just above the brake master cylinder, not sure if thats anything that needs to be used in the install.
      Handy with wrenches so if i can find the parts installing it shouldnt be a problem, anyone done this upgrade, was it worth it?

      Bit of background. First the machine would take for ever to start. So I adjusted the valve shims into spec and made sure the timing is correct. Starts perfectly now. 
       
      now it fluctuates on idle. Bogs down, Revs up, repeat. I noticed the fuel pressure drops from 60psi to 20psi while that happens. It also bogs down at the lower end of each gear, higher rpm seems to be fine. Seems to struggle under load. In neutral it revs up perfectly. 
       
      brand new fuel pump, fuel filter, gas. I noticed on the fuel pressure regulator there’s that vacuum nipple, it’s not attached to anything and I’m not sure where it would go. Possibly the problem? 
       
      Another issue is the tip off the end of the exhaust is broken off, sensor is still attached and connected. Could that cause these issues? 
       
      my next plan was to look into the pressure regulator and voltage to fuel pump while driving. Is there anything I’m missing or any ideas you guys have? 
       
      thanks!

      I'm sure many of you are aware of Michigan's emergency brake requirement.  I'm wondering if anyone has a good solution. 
      Beyond paying the few fab places $$$$.. I'm curious is there another rear caliper with e brake style that would interchange with slight mods to  the Maverick sport rear mounting bracket?
