it ended up being air trapped in fuel lines to and from pump. I had forgotten I had put the valve on reserve and it ran dry. Even switching back to a full tank, it needed fuel directly in throttle or fill the tubes at the pump. I took a water bottle and put a small hole in it and kept squirting till the fuel lines refilled with gas.
Anyone know if I need a fuel pump? I spray carb cleaner into throat and it starts till it burns it off. Last week it took me a long time to start the same way. I got it running and it ran fine. Now it is doing the same thing.
