Have 18hp Fastwin that starts fine but won't stay running at idle, spark is fine bulb stays firm, gas is in line to carb, (I put on clear line so I could see fuel) but it still won't idle. It runs a little while then it just dies like no fuel. I rebuilt fuel pump and carb two years ago. Could it be bad fuel? I run 50 to 1 and I put stabil in last years fuel, and topped off this year. Never had this problem before.

Try squeezing the bulb while running and see if it keeps it going. If it is, you have a fuel delivery problem. Rick

Got it figured out, the hose connections on both tanks were bad. But now have another problem, getting a lot of smoke and their is gray oily crude in test barrel from running.
