So I broke down just outside of Hamtramk the other day, Luckily close enough to push it to a friends house and wait for Sprunch to pick me up.
Basically It kicks first kick, sounds fine, as soon as you give it a little gas it stalls, if I rev the shit out of it I can take off.
I'm hoping it's some bunk gas, gonna go with some engine stabilizer and see how that works, if not clean the carb.
Any other thoughts or Suggestions

She seems happy! Lil carb cleaner, shook her like I was a British nanny, she started first kick, let her sit for a minute, headed around the block, everything seems fine.
