I know I’ve read of similar problems like this on here but I can’t remember the verdict. Yesterday my son wanted to ride his ETX and then came in the house and said he needed my help. He said it was cutting off and losing power when giving it gas. I cranked it and hit the gas, and it acted like it was going to die. Let off the throttle and it was back to idling. I let it run and it finally acted OK. He took and said he didn’t have a problem with it any more.

I took it out to ride it today to give it a workout, and it did the same thing with me. On startup it didn’t want to go when hitting the throttle. I let it sit and idle while I took my helmet and put it back in the house and when I came back I put it in gear and gave it some gas and it moved OK and then off I went.

It almost seems like I have to let it warm up, but I never did before. Plus I thought with fuel injection it didn’t really need warming up like with a carburetor. What do I need to check if this persists? My dad put gas in it last week, so I thought it was odd that it started after that. But he said he’s been using it in the lawnmowers and they’ve been fine.
