Hey guys. My Savage has been losing fuel pressure from the main fuel line going to the carb. It will run a few good powerful runs and pop wheelies then cut out and die. When I take the fuel line off the carb there is no fuel coming out of the line. It's like there has never been fuel run through it. I took the motor out and did a good seal job on it thinking there might be an air leak. I'm thinking now it could be the fuel tank not keeping pressurized because it's doing the same thing even after sealing the motor up. And I can close the fuel cap , start it back up and it will run then cut out again. It does this after each time I reclose the fuel cap. I've did a pressure test on the gas tank and can't see where it may be leaking and replaced the fuel lines. I checked the stinger on the exhaust and it is clear. Maybe the cap on the gas tank is working its way loose while it's running? I don't know I'm at a loss. I guess I'll buy a new tank? What are your thoughts ?
