MGT problems

[sboyd11]

got my MGT a few weeks ago
I think i broke it in properly. It ran good for a while. i changed brands of feul and now nothing but problems the feul is the same ratio 20/12
The truck runs good for a while but then bogs out and has no power and wont move. cleaned air filter and flushed out tank. Adjusted the needles many times too. leaning out doesnt work. almost like it doesn shift out of 2nd gear. SO i have narrowed it down to be either in the clutch or fuel filter. I think it is in teh fuel filter because it has a hard time fireing up too.
Let me know what you guys think.

ive only ran about a gallon of fuel through it
I run it all teh time is sand and mine tailings so that may have gotten into the fuel filter

Check all fuel lines and make sure that there isn't a leak. It doesn't really cost much for new fuel line. Also, get some silicone sealent and run it around where the throat of the carb goes into the block. Also, take off the Pull start and run some around the back plate (You'll see where the back plate gets screwed into the block, just run it around the joint there). It sounds to me like it could very well be an air leak.
