[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 406853, member: 1780"] Beyond aggravated with this. Toyota pickup with 22r on propane. This issue started 2 rides ago at Hawk Pride. It ran fine all day at HPO, rode all day and into the night. Flopped over on a creek on a drunken stooper later that night. Winched back over, continued riding. Never noticed anything different, but then again, I was blowed out drunk running over every obstacle we came to, also. Next day, we come back to the park ready to ride....it turned over a little longer than usual before it crunk, and it ran like ****. Give it throttle and it'd start cuttin out, let off throttle too quick, it would die. Never has done this. It's always ran flawless since I've had it (going on 2 years). Anyways, when it'd die or if I cut it off to raise the hood and check around, it would always crank back on it's own, just kept turning over longer than normal before ignition. Continued riding throughout that day and the whole running shitty thing went away, but it was easy to go dead if I let off the throttle too quickly...and each time it took longer and longer to crank. Eventually, it would not crank, just continuously turn over. Brad Evans, mentioned vacuum leak, so we looked for potential vacuum leak, couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. Some guy walked up, can't remember his name, and said go try to crank it while I hold this spring loaded button down on the vaporizer...sure enough, it crunk right up.
