" After purchasing and tuning
" After purchasing and tuning up this new looking engine over the winter (new points, plugs, cond, carb rebuild, water pump, comp 75 psi on each cyl) I took it out for the first time this past weekend for testing. It ran great with 2 issues:
1. Twice it just died during WOT, like I turned it off. This was after and hour of running. Started back up with the choke on 2nd or 3rd pull. Then I noticed that I forgot to open the tank vent (and the plastic tank looked sucked it a bit). After I opened the vent, the problem never occurred again in the second hour of testing. Could the closed vent have caused the issue? If not, what could cause this.
2. A couple of times after it shutting down during testing I had a hard time starting it back up again while still hot. Had to choke it and pull 5-6 times to start then it ran great again once started. Is this normal? "
