Sounds to me like you have a fuel line problem, Can you draw gas with suction up to the pump? Could be the pickup line in the tank has fallen off..
Good luck!

I just replaced all lines.......... fuel, impulse, and oil, complete with clamps. Even tried pressurizing the fuel tank. Then I put on a squeeze bulb primer. The fuel goes into the pump outlet, but after that, you can't squeeze the bulb anymore. Took the pump apart three times and the carb twice. Checked and cleaned the diaphragms, seals, gaskets, jets, ports, and anything else that has an opening in it. Everything appears to be in order. If I keep spraying fuel into the carb, I can throttle it up, but as soon as I quit, it dies after burning up the spray. Something isn't right, but I don't know what. I really don't think it's the crank seals, but I'm just not sure. It's also possible that a previous owner unknowingly did something to it that I can't see or find. I'm about ready to find a new carb for it, but I have no idea what would fit on it.

Congrats!! Sometimes a little luck goes a long way. Now you can enjoy riding it.
