Hi I have had a problem with this for a while when you start the engine it will run for about 3 seconds then it will die and I know its not a carb rebuild issue. It just seems to burn a little fuel then its like it loses fuel pressure after it has started because the primer bulb gets kind of soft and I believe that is why it will not stay running but I can not figure out why it has new gas tank and a new lines and primer bulb and and all the fittings are tight why would it lose pressure? and is this why it will not stay running or is there something else that needs looked at?
