Re: Gas problem

bsa...from what I understand from your post, we have a new fuel hose/primer bulb, new fuel pump, carbs have been over hauled.<br /><br />Problem, pump up primer bulb till firm, start engine. Engine runs and stalls due to lack of fuel. Re-prime bulb and engine starts. Is that about it?<br /><br />Have you made sure all fuel line connections are tight?

Re: Gas problem

Check fuel tank vent for obstructions. Try running with the fuel cap loose or off to see if it helps. Is this a portable tank or permanant one?
