    Float height in the carb needs to be adjusted (lowered) YouTube it if your not sure about how to do this. If you mess it up, it can be a disaster.

    drain carb and estimate fuel level is correct or get a manual and follow procedure. - otherwise leave float alone after clean.

    Fuel shortage could be a snagged line so make sure fuel flows.

    BUT did you clean out TANK and carb and put in fresh fuel - YOU HAVE TO DO THIS or you dont know where you are at.

    blow though carb make sure slider lifts if it is a cv carb. spray light oil on carb when running and look for air leaks. these will prevent fuel pickup so very important.,
