Motor dies

[Subnet76]

Well just finished my Dingo, Put on a 9hp Subaru robin. Runs great Other than I have to leave the choke open half way when riding it. And here is my question. When I make a hard right turn for more than 4 seconds the motor will die. Any idea on what could cause this?

If choke has to be partially closed in order for it to run properly means you have a lean condition. Requires high and/or low speed adjustments.
Running it with choke partially closed will cause oil consumption problems.
Stalling problem is likely related.

The stalling can also be a low oil shutoff.

SOAB, Well I checked the oil and it was just below a quarter on the stick. That has to be what it was. Ill fire it up tomorrow and will know for sure. Thanks for the help guys! Ill have to learn a bit about carbs before i start turning screws.

It's not about the oil actually being low, its just all the oil gets sloshed (yes, it's a technical term :rolleyes3: ) away from the sensor and it cuts the engine. Most people here disconnected or otherwise disable the sensor.

OK, oil is full, gas is full, pulled spark plug-fired, ignition on. Dont start. I hit it with starting fluid and it ran for a few seconds. Where is this oil sensor?

Plugged carb is now the issue

oil sensor is a line running into the block somewhere cut the wire off.

Tapped on the carb. Runs fine now. Thanks for the help!
