Dishshoap, unless you didn't get something tight they normally don't leak when new. Mine was about 4 gallons old before the carb leaked and it's easy to fix with a little sealant. If you have a leak, there should be fuel somewhere (front bearing, carb boot, HSN assembly, etc.). Also possible that the air leak (if you have one) is in your fuel tank or in a line somewhere. I had fuel tubing tear at the top of the clunk in my 8ight tank and it caused off and on pressure problems. Last place I looked LOL.
Man I have checked and double checked everything. There is no fuel coming out from anywhere. Look below as to what I have done.
Update!!!!!
Here is what I did.
Front Diff. Bearings good gears good filled with new oil.
Center Diff. Bearings good gears good filled with new oil.
Rear Diff. Bearings good gears good filled with new oil.
I took apart the entire clutch. Shoes were good, springs were good, all bearings were good. The front engine bearing was good as well. I did notice some wear on the clutch bell.
Pulled the gas tank off and did a leak test under water. No leaks.
I put everthing back together cleaned every part and made sure everything was in working order.
As usual started right up and the idle was perfect. Put it on the ground good punch on the low and at high speed performed perfect. 4 minutes into it once the temps were at the appropriate tempatures it flammed out.
Pulled into the garage and put it on the box and it restarted no problem.
Leaned the low end 1 hour. After 5 or 6 minutes flammed out again. Pulled it in again and it restarted no problem. Leaned another hour on the lsn and had to stop.
I have nearly torn apart the entire buggy and everything seems to be working perfect. Power band was awesome and it ran flawlessly until it hits the 5 minute mark.
I am clueless now!!!!!!!!!
