She runs...well sorta. Got everything bolted on, carb leaks fixed, fuel line fixed, starter on, gased her up and she ran. Was shocked to be honest as it fired up the first crank of the key. Now the problem is she won't stay running. I think it may be a fuel pump issue as if I keep priming the bulb it stays running, if not I get about 15 seconds before she dies out on me. What I don't understand is the fuel pump on these carbs, how the hell do the work? Where do they get their pulse from to pump? I am used to seeing either an electric pump or a line from the crankcase pulsing the diaphrams, any ideas?
