cranks right up, drive it 5 minutes and starts starving for gas. can work the choke and keep it running. pump bulb stays tight and no visual fuel leaks. checked lines and fuel pump. seems like some type of vapor lock. if i take plastic cover off of fuel pump and put it back on it runs fine another 5 min and we're back where we started. I've read other post with same problem but no answers that helped yet.

Do you have the vent open on the fuel can?
