I am having problems with keeping this motor running after start. It starts right up but dies after about 10 seconds. Dies sharply. Here is what I have done so far:
Replaced Fuel Pump
Replaced spark plugs
Remove in line fuel filter..checked and cleaned.
checked all hoses
connected exterior fuel source from another tank just to eliminate bad as or tank and hose problems.
Sprayed carb cleaner in carbs
No change in symptoms.. I can bump the choke and the engine will keep running.. I cna squeeze the bulb and it will keep running. I can hold the butterfly on the carb 1/4 way open or more, and it will run like a scalded dog.. but as soon as I stop doing any of that, it immediately dies.
It seems to definitely be starved for gas, but I can't figure out the culprit...any ideas?
