get a oil can the thumb operated type and squirt some oil down the petrol pipe and make sure pipe is upwards so the oil runs into the pump then leave for a while to wet the valves in the pump then crank engine to make sure petrol comes up or just refit the pipe and pour some petrol down the carb and watch it go
This truck is fuel injected, the problem sounds like a weak fuelpump, it runs when you pour gas into it until that gas runs out, the first thing is to test the fuel preasure, if the pump is weak it may run with gas poured into it but wont idle, also a common problem is the coolant temp sensor and the ground wires to thermostat housing bolt but i wont bet its the pump inside the fuel tank, if you put a fuel gauge on it there should be at least 55-61 psi if its a few pounds lower it can cause problems, you have everything else and it runs with gas poured so its a fuel problem check the preasure, theres a valve up top on the fuel line to connect a fuel gauge to it, start there hope this is helpful.
If the fuel pump is not only working buy supplying enough pressure and the engine runs OK the only thing between is the carburator. Check the float bowl for water and/or debris. Next check the float connection to the needle valve and seat. It can get stuck or break. Other than that make sure the gaskets are in good condition and the carb is tight against the intake.
I hate too tell you this But, It IS The Fuel Pump if you can Start it By pouring Fuel into the Bowl. Please Rate my response, I need all the help that I can get! Thanks!
