Default RE: Ryobi 31cc engine setup

Okay I have good news and bad news.

The good news is not only did I sort out my radio problem, but I finally got to start my engine! Horray, right? WRONG!

The bad news is that I dont think the carb is pulling in fuel. The engine runs fine on the fuel that it is primed with via primer bulb, but once that runs out, it quits. I cant see fuel flowing through the carb line from the primer bulb, or from the tank to the bulb for that matter. I have all of my lines tightened down with some fishing line (it works great, surprisingly) and it does not appear to have an air leak anywhere. Does anybody know what the problem might be here? Could it be the carb or something else?

Well anywho, Im glad to know that it actually runs, and it sounds great! Hopefully it'll pull around my Cap nicely, it weighs about 12 lbs wet. Also, I need to give it some tail weight, its WAY nose heavy!
