Hey all! I am looking for some advice I bought this engine after it had been setting about a year. It cranks but don't want to start. Put some new fuel in the tank, new gas pump line, and cleaned all three carbs. I crank it will run for 10 secs(if lucky) and then die.I think I have a fuel problem. I know fuel is flowing through all carbs. The only thing I have not changed is the fuel pump. If I spray fuel inside the spark plug area is when it fires and if I dump alot in it will backfire. I know I have good compression as when I have all three spark plugs in it dont like to run and just feels like it doesnt have enough juice to crank over.. any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated thanks!!

Sounds like you figured it out on your own.
Fuel delivery.
Start with new hoses and a squeezie and clean the carbs and rebuild the pump.
Oh yea, Welcome.
