I think you already did this but if your sure the tank, fuel cock and lines are good then it's gotta be the carb. Did you replace the line from the pump to the carb?

Oak the carb was taken off my other 2072 that has been running fine for years.
I was told by an old cub guy that if the cylinders were full and the oil was full of gas the fuel pump was bad. I pulled the line off my 1872 to see how much pressure the pump had and it was more than the 2072. It will run for about 15 20 second before it wants to dye. I can only think that I got a bad pump. Not really sure what to do now.
