Put in new fuel filter, plug , fuel lines and air filter. starts and runs with chock on but dies when I give it gas. cleaned carb with carb cleaner
Probably clogged screen in carb on the solid cast side. Usually only one screw in center, be carful of gasket and diaphragm and check flap valves for debris.

You could have a bad pump daiphram, which is holding the needle valve open. You can try rebuilding carb.or just replace carb. that is the easiest way.

check to make sure your kill switch is not shorting and you have the right gap from the coil to the flywheel also if the flywheel sheer pin is damaged in the least this will cause a multitude of problems... it is the timing pin and must be in good shape not damaged or sheered ..any way reply to [email protected] and i will try to help you through this.... DALE good luck and will wait for reply..

Hi There, Check the primer bulb for tare or pin holes. Replace it. Check and clean carb jet it maybe plugged with debree. Also check for spark which you didn't say. Replace with correct plug.
Note; Do not use strong cleaners on rubber seals (O rings and gaskets) They dry up and crack.
If needed use a dabble of grease on seals
Testimonial: "Thank you. I had to merely add more gas to tank & bulb siphoned fine. Changed the plug and bingo! It started & runs great. "
