i have had my z die on me at the lst 4 races about an hour into the race i race cross country. i thought it ws the carb cause it would bog down and then die like it was fooded but i have had three different carbs on it and it does the exact same thing everytime. so it would have to be electrical i think. has anyone had this prob and if so has anyone found a cure?

Check the float needle and seat. Clean them with some steel wool, they seem to stick.
I had same problem, it would act like it was flooded and would even leak gas through the overflow.
One of my friends had similiar problem.
