My 2007 sat very long in the garage unused, and now has only 1560 miles. When I run it, it starts great and runs at 45mph great. But on steep hill climbs it sputters, lurches, and then cuts out and dies. It restarts immediately but cuts out again if I am still stuck on the hill. I removed and cleaned carb, still runs great but still has same problem.
A mechanic friend suggested that I have dry rot of the head gasket (due to not running the motor enough) and that i need to replace head gasket. Does this makes sense to you? If so, can you sell me an original TGB head gasket? How do I contact oilyhans for purchases, if this purchase seems correct?
