rd350lc died

[Oliver31]

just had mates lc out the garage to take to the mot. starts fine from the off, let it warm up. took it steady as the the lc has been rebuilt but the engine was ok when it was taken out of the frame.
then the engine dies as if it has run out of petrol.
then wouldnt start. there is fresh fuel in. carbs have been ultrsonically cleaned.

its running oil pump but i did put some 2 stroke oil in the tank for initial starting.


left it for 10 minutes it bumped fine


any ideas what it could be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you checked the tank cap to see if its venting ok? Take it of after it stalls and check for rush of air into the tank.
