hey guys, i have a 93 ovation i've had issues with, i use it for ice fishing, sometimes it runs with no problems 4-5 miles each way, others like today i made it about a mile and it just shut down.
i've replaced all the fuel, oil and vacuum lines, cleaned the pump, check the tank filter and vent all seem ok. compression was good cold in the garage but i wonder if i'm loosing vacuum somewhere when it warms up.
Problem is it runs fine some trips. fuel pump wouldn't do that, well not a diaphram pump any how, carb seems nice and clean, when i pulled the fuel line off the carb it pumped fuel but i don't think it pumped like it should be. i want to check my other sled tomorrow.
i'm about ready to tear the motor down but i would be seriously pissed if that didn't fix the issue and it was something stupid. seriously, anyone got any good ideas? anyone got solid numbers i can check the vacuum or fuel pressure....damn i'm better with cars, lol.
