just thought i would say, that last night(5/4/11) there was smoke coming out of my exhaust and it smelled like fuel and then died? it took it a few starts to get started and didn't want to start right away and then it finally started. it sounded like it was almost flooded or something?

and i didn't have any problems with it today except for it having trouble starting like i mentioned in last paragraph. but other then that nothing else today.

Hmmm... engine braking so high vacuum, no reason for the petcock to shut off, but if the diaphragm was leaking...

so yah... check the vac line for fuel, not good if there is.

Engine braking - dark smoke from exhaust - engine dies. Petcock diaphragm leaked. Test drive it on PRI for a while to confim that. That's how I cought it, guided by someone from this forum.
