Gator CX Running Issue
Hey gang. My CX for some reason is having a problem running. I get going and start to scoot down the property and it acts like it's running out of gas. ( it's not ) I pull the coke to keep in running, put it in neutral and I can rev the engine. I shift into forward start off and go about 20 feet and again it starts acting like it's out of gas. I can limp back to the garage by playing with the choke.
Got any ideas where I should start looking? The gas is new. Air filter is new. Unit is like new (I still have the OEM plastic bags on the seats). Unit is maybe 7 years old (stop laughing WOEII)

Sounds like you may need some maintenance, I know you've said the fuel is new but start from scratch. Ask a friend to assist as a second set of eyes, too
- You may have water in your fuel. Check your tank & verify that isn't the cause, drain the tank if necessary. Purchase non-ethanol fuel or use a fuel stabilizer to prevent ethanol contamination.
- Check for sediment or dirt at the bottom of your gas tank, too
- Remove & check the fuel filter, replace if necessary, especially if you don't know when it was changed.
- Check & clean the carburetor, my Honda generator was 7 or 8 years old & needed the carb cleaned & rebuilt from dirt in it.
Get back to us & let us know what the problem is.
