[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 32541, member: 26"] Here's an idea, if you can find a friend who really trusts you: Assuming you have a priming bulb, have your friend pump it while you're starting the engine and keep pumping when it starts. If that keeps it running, then I think you're pretty sure it's fuel starvation that kills it. Maybe a pick-up problem in the tank, crack in the pickup line somewhere (in the tank or in the lines up to the lift pump) or the lift pump itself. When my 751 lift pump (internal to the injector pump, unfortunately) went bad, the diagnosis was done by pumping on the bulb. When the engine speed increased, that was the indicator the lift pump was failing. And it did finally fail completely. :-) ---RC [/QUOTE]
