OK, so the engine will not run on its own, it stalls after whatever the injected fuel runs out…
Does it look like anyone has messed with the intake manifold? It is possible that someone has attempted to convert the engine to single line/fuel pump, and messed with the reed components to do it… The two black rubber relief valves on the reed plate might be messed up….
But, before you dig into the intake manifold, you should recheck the carb and make sure it isn’t messed up/flooding/restricted somehow.
Finally, and I guess I should have led with this….Are the fuel/air hoses connected properly? In other words, is the air line connected to the carb, and the fuel line connected to the manifold port?
