yeah, its not pumping fuel, you prime it couple times, and it will run long enough to run the gas out the carb then stops.

it was a brand new carb too. this truck fights me everytime i bring it out

Do you have a lol switch on it. If so it could be interference with the radio. My xb was doing that had to get a better radio. Or you might just have to turn the idle screw up

Meant to say kill switch not lol switch

Check your gas tank make sure you're not losing air out of it like the rubber grommet and check your gas filter

Try running it up without the filler cap on if it runs then it's blocked. Did you change the carb? If so did you check the little hole in gasket is lined up with the hole in crankcase and carb? As either will prevent fuel reaching carb

Only thing I can think of at the moment is either an air leak around carb mounting, insulator area. Or a damaged carb pump diaphragm, blocked fuel filter.

Hi. I had the same problem thought it was fuel and it was my coil wasn't strong enough when I would give it gas it would bog out like it was starving for gas and the coil was bad replaced it and runs like new again just though I Mention that
