Hi Dean,

The filter bowl should be full of fuel when running the engine. Check the tank for a blockage due to rust. I installed the little finger filter in the gas shut off valve and that cured that issue-after I cleaned the tank out a bit. Also, when you come to a stop, like you are in city traffic, keep the GAV open about a 1/4 turn. Zenith carbs are famous for dying out at quick stops.
