	OK. I have just about had it with this POS. I tried everything i can think of but it wont run right. It runs good when it starts. But every time i start it i have to pour gas down the cylinder to start it. Then when it finally starts it runs good. I have cleaned the carbs more then i can count. I have cleaned out the gas tank and i even tried a different plastic gas tank just in case the oem metal one was still rusting after i cleaned it. But to no luck. It still does not like to start unless gas is poured down the cylinder. It doesn't have a fuel pump. its gravity fed. Please people help me!!!! Im tearing my hair out here trying to figure out why the hell its not running. 1996 Skidoo Formula III 600 2001 Polaris TrailBlazer 250 1995 Polaris Scrambler 400 4X4 1989 Yamaha Blaster 200 Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	no it will stay running full time unless i turn it off. but the only way to get it to start is pour some gas down the cylinder. then once you do that it starts and runs fine and stays running. 1996 Skidoo Formula III 600 2001 Polaris TrailBlazer 250 1995 Polaris Scrambler 400 4X4 1989 Yamaha Blaster 200 Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

Im tearing my hair out here trying to figure out why the hell its not running. check to see that the, pilot jet is taken out and cleaned.... also check the crank seals...a leakdown test is a good idea.. but it's hard to diagnose a problem without all the intel..OH.. is the choke working?
