[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 85806, member: 816"] Have you emptied out the gas tank? Sounds like it runs good right away once carb has been cleaned out. Then it's gunking up quickly. I would guess shit in the tank. It's a 1996. Ethanol could have taken its toll on gas lines or the inside of the tank too.

Before I took it to them the 3rd time I noticed the plastic tank looked sketchy. I mentioned it to them. But, when I got it back the 3rd time, the tank was still connected. I almost took it for a spin again. Chose to take a real good look in the tank and dump the gas out. It was full of clear floaters. Almost like liquefied plastic. Threw it away. Knew instantly I had the problem fixed. It's ran like a top ever since. Disappointed in the experts for not diagnosing it the first or second or third time and taking me for $800+.
