Well Vince I got the screw out with out tearing everything completely down. Got everything buttoned back up and again it will start try to run then die. I can now see some fuel coming out of the carb. I tried with and without the gas cap on even though I know it is not stopped up. I have fuel that will free flow from the tank line. I again checked all the safety switches to make sure they were cutting power. My seat switch is jumper wired and has been that way from the beginning but just for testing I removed the jumper with no change. At this point Im considering a bad fuel pump because the fuel stream looks like it tapers off and it is not steady or a remote possibility of the seat jumper shorting and not letting it run long enough to draw fuel in. Tomorrow Im gonna go back to see if I can direct feed the carb and it will stay running. I am open to suggestions. I wish I had access to a known good pump and carb to switch out for testing purposes.
