On Saturday while out on a ride my Rubicon ran great for half an hour and then just suddenly it back fired and stopped. Couldn’t restart. Ever since this incident if I wait for about 10 minutes it will start up and run great for 5-10 min at low and high speeds with no acceleration problems and then it stops running and won’t restart…wait 10 min and it restarts.
I checked the fuel flow out to the carb and it had good a good flow. Fuel tank vent only vents out not in (could this be the problem?). I am planning to rebuild the carb if the tank vent is OK thinking it would most likely be a sticky float causing the engine to starve for fuel.
