I forgot to mention one of the times that it would not fire or start I dribbled some fuel in the carb throat and it fired right up and ran until the dribble was burned up. I thought I ran out of fuel and then after I put two gallons in couldn't get it to prime and poured some down the throat and it ran but died when the poured in fuel was gone. I think I have my culprit.

What are the thoughts??
