The loser cruiser starts and runs good until it heats up 15-20 minutes. The engine does not overheat. I have replaced: Ignition Module, Coil, Cap, Rotor, Wires, Plugs, Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump, Carb, Relocated Fuel Line, Intake Gasket. Once warmed up I can push 1/8-1/4 pedal max. After that it's seizer time. Also once I get it up to 60 it does fine. Push the pedal 1/4--wide open, it sounds like I pulled the Jake-Brake {Loses all power}. It never ends...It NEVER ENDS!!!! OWW OWWWWW!!!
