This one has me stumped and I'm looking for suggestions.
My Big Mo 500 starts hard and runs rough at idle when the fuel level gets down to below a couple of inches in the gas tank. I have to choke her to get her started and she runs like she's cold, even when she's been running for awhile. She runs OK with the throttle open. I guess this might not be a bad thing since I don't have a functioning gas guage. If I add a couple of gallons of gas she runs fine again. I would think that she would run fine until she actually runs out of gas. The carburetor is clean and the float is set up correctly. All carburetor adjustments seem to be OK as she runs fine otherwise. Is there something wrong or is this considered normal?
Thanks for your comments and help!
