Just bought this & it ran perfectly with muffs on. Got it home & put it in tank to check water pump (which is working). And now it starts & runs fine for minute then sputters out. If I pump the ball it will stay running. I did new plugs, fuel line & tank. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does the ball pump up and hold before starting? Then goes soft?

If so, it needs new fuel pump.
