I've only had my R out twice Since I've owned it. Both tInes were about 4-5hrs. I was able ride all day with out any problems until I really beat on it at the end of the day. I'd be able to get in a solid 3-4 laps on a small flat track But then it would bog out and stall. 3-6 kicks later, it would fire over and id be able to get her hell and it would do the same After 3-4 laps again. I switched on reserve the first time it did it and nothing changed. My filter is fairly dirty, which I just replaced this week but haven't been able to ride it. I did find the clamps on the intake and outtake on my carb were loose, which I tighten last night. Unfortunately the guy I bought it from didn't do any work on this R and never got paperwork for anything done to it motor wise. All I know is that the motor was rebuilt, has a stock jug with a cool head(unsure what size), v force 3 reeds, fmf exhaust, stock intake tube with K&N. 34mm carb With 155 m and 48 pilot. I didn't pull the carb all the way off so I'm not sure where the needle is. AS is about 1.5-2 turns out. Anyone every experience this?? this is my first 2 stroke, hopefully someone can help

Drain the fuel from the tank. Pull the petcock and check what the fuel filters look like.

I would think with it going that long when running hard that the gas cap or breather tube could also be the culprit. It will run hard for a while until your motor has consumed more volume of fuel than air that has been let in, then gravity won't be able to do its job. You can simply pull your fuel line off, put it in a can and start draining, watch for it to slow signifantly, if it does, crack the fuel cap open and see if it picks back up. If you have poor flow from the get go and don't notice any decrease in flow then I would do as Rupp said..

^^ Agreed. What type of gas vent, are you using?

Using the stock cap and vent. As far as I know it's original. what you guys are saying does make sense. I have a clear fuel line from the petcock to carb. I have seen air pockets roughly 1/4 to 1/2" in size on occasion. I had intension on changing the filter and petcock when I first brought it home but forgot about it. Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.
