When did you last park it?

If it was last season, did you drain the gas tank or put Stabil in it?

Hey Rick... I last parked it about three months ago and it was running perfectly... If I pour gas into the carb, it will run now until that fuel runs out and then it dies... it's like it's not getting any fuel from the tank to the carb... I checked all of the lines to the carb and they are clear...

If all the lines are clear, look for a plugged fuel filter or dirt in the main carb needle.

It does sound like either the carb needs cleaning or the fuel solenoid on the bottom or the carburetor is not working right and it is stopping the gas from going through the carb.
