Vacuum port sealed and plugged. good
dropped carb and scrubbed it to a nice shine good, assume you cleaned inside too
So after many attempts of starting this thing finally starts. good
I have to maintain throttle or it will instantly die. sounds like not getting gas
Sure thing the tube is empty and trickles down to the carb bowl every once and a while (dont know if this is normal).
1 step at a time...
when you installed the petcock,
you removed the fuel line slipped over the filter?
Have you checked the petcock since?
if not pull it and see if the filters are clogged.
reassemble.
pull the fuel line off, put a jar under and turn to on... how many seconds to fill a qt/gal ?
reassemble
do you got a carb bowl drain or just a bolt on the bottom?
if bolt, remove and put a jar under and turn to on... how many seconds to fill a qt/gal ?
