What made you think it wasn't getting enough gas?

Did you try any tests to confirm that thought, like squeeze the primer ball, or actuate the choke/primer?

There are many possible causes of fuel starvation. You need to begin a logical process of eliminating the dead end possibilities with a series of tests and checks, such as checking fuel pump output, etc..

well when i push in the key it would sputter a bit then start but when i put it in foward and give it gas it would rev up and it would bog down and die
