i'm not sure, but if you are mixing your own gas, then i think you need to have that oil pump removed and a blockoff installed. someone else will have to chime in with this answer, i'm not sure about it.
so only thing i should remove is the white plastic part located in the middle of the magneto.... also can someone answer my q's from a couple post ago where i was talking about the test that chester is wanting me to do.... i just dont want to do it wrong and smoke my mpem if it isnt already....

just install the injection module back on, as a "block-off"...
ok so just take out the white shaft and put it back together like you normally would just without the shaft... also here is a few q's i had a few days back that sorda went unanswerd please read and help thanks

clean/wipe the shavings, re-inspect the stator assy and wires, and put everything back, and fire it up...
k i just got it cleaned up inspected it all and it all seemed in good condition and put it back together and its doing the same thing.... only thing i havent done is the test on my mpem like chester said but i've stated a couple times that i dont want to do the test until someone tells me exactly how to do it let me know if there is any other test i need to do... thanks

think its stator related...you unplug the yellow wires, that are from the stator assy, and nuthing pops...?
You need a new MPEM. A simpler test than the one I linked to, with the wire harnesses still plugged into the MPEM, disconnect the battery & with an ohm meter, check for continuity between the 5 amp fuse connector and the ground (black) wire. If your reading is a closed circuit (0 ohms) replace the MPEM.

Yep, it's the mpem.

hey guys the story just changed Ok here it goes it seems that the guy had put different fuses in the wrong spot the one that was popping was a five and it was suppose to be a 15amp so i changed them and it is no longer doing the same it is not popping the fuses at all but it still dies out i dunno but it seems like if i play with the throttle it runs longer at times is there any way its the pickup unit in the tank if there is one... it starts good everytime just dies like u pull the plug......

At least, it wasnt a $600 fix...
Pull the carbs, and clean/rebuild them, them giv-ur a shot.

do you actually think its the carbs it runs so good without a miss and revs fine but then it will just die like you pull the lanyard off also i was doing some more research and it still has the grey fuel lines on it...?????????It seems like if i start it and let it idel it will run for awhile and then die and if i rev in or just play with the thottle in and out it will stay running for along time and then dies..... also it seems to build alot of pressure in the tank when i pull the gas lid off its got alot of pressure but i tried running it wihout and it did the same......

your tank, should be venting. Shouldnt have a big "whoooosh" when opening cap.
If grey lines in, you'll get mix "opinions", but I say, replace them, and go thru carbs. Along with that, check the "spigots" off the tank, where lines plug onto.
Another thing to try, is clean the landyard and post, could be bad connect there.
