Thanks for the picture. I definitely had the feed line on the wrong tube. But I tried running it again today and it didn't run any better. I switched the tubes and tried choking the engine and it didn't suck any fuel when the line was hooked to thelarger tube. It seemed to be sucking through the smaller tube which I had hooked to the vent line back to the tank. When I hook the feed line to the middle smaller tube the engine sucks fuel easily when fully choked. I also noticed that your carb is mount upside down compared to mine? I have the needle valves facing forward. I checked the carb mounting piece and and the hole from the engine that drives the pump is lines up correctly and the carb's pump hole is lined up on the mounting piece. I'm confused? Of course if I didn't have the pump hole lined up correctly that would explain why the engine is not running right. Have you ever seen the carb mounted with the needles pointing forward? Thanks for your help.
