Ho! Pls. hit your Caps Lock key, thnx.<br /><br />Obviously somthing prevents fuel from reaching your carbs in an amount sufficient for your motor to run at above idle.<br /><br />The fuel pump, on the motor, sucks the fuel from the tank. So, if there's a leak or blockage in your fuel line or tank vent., that's a possible reason as air will be sucked in or fuel will be restricted.<br /><br />Next possible fault could be inside the pump. If it's not pumping as supposed to, you'll get too little or no fuel to the motor.<br /><br />By squeezing you actually second the pump.<br /><br />I'd look it all over and be prepared for a fuel pump kit.
