I checked the fuel pump and it seems good, a good stream every 2'ish seconds. I tore the carb down again and cleaned everything I could while making sure there wasn't any blockages on the inlet, needle seat, anywhere I could see a hole that lead anywhere. It started up nicely and I was hopeful as it seemed like it was running longer but after a few seconds it started to die as usual.
I found
this post where the OP had a similar issue although his ran longer than mine where polishing the needle valve helped. I noticed while mine does move smoothly it will slightly catch sometimes. Does this sound like something that may be causing my issue?
