KQ stutters and stalls
Hey Josh, since youseem to be the only guy around this forum, I need to pick your brain.
The other night, I was about 100 yards from home when my KQ700 died. At first I thought I was out of gas but was only low. I managed to get it fired back up and limped to the barn where I added a couple gallons.
It was still hard to start and once going, felt like an old carbureted engine that was getting too much gas. It would barely pull itself to 20mph and wasn't any better in low.
My FI light hasn't come on in the dash but I added alittle carb cleaner and ran it but it still hasn't helped. I can start it up cold and it runs about a minute fine and then just dies and is a bear to start after that (since the other night) Try to rev it and I really have to feather the throttle and it will start stuttering and popping out the exhaust.
Flipping through my service manual last night, maybe a vacuum line has come loose?
Until then, other than taking a long time to start cold, she hasn't skipped a beat in the 50 +/- miles I've put on it since I've had it (05 model) and it was just fine the 10+ miles I'd been riding it earlier in the day and that evening.
