Try running it on some starter fluid or pour a little straight gas in the carb and see if it runs. It is possible that you got some air in the lines, and running it this way can prime the system. This will also tell you if your getting spark.


Also make 100 percent sure your not just out of gas. Dont go by the gauge. Check the tank itself.

What about the fuel pump on the block? Did you pull the line going INTO the pump FROM the tank? Was that dry?

Get a 5 gallon can of gas and run a line from the can directly to the fuel pump, bypassing the filter. That should rule out problems with the filter.


Could also be leaks in the fuel lines coming from the tank, causing the pump to suck air.


Hopefully its something as simple as a clogged fuel filter. If it is clogged, you will want to figure out what clogged it, and where it came from, which means dropping the tank, and having it cleaned.
