Ok, here's my problem. I just rebuilt my fuel system on my '04 Magnum 330. New carb, fuel pump, petcock, fuel lines, filters, and cleaned out the tank. I have been turning it on and running it every other day for a couple of weeks now, and running around the yard, just to make sure that it's ready for deer season (and to chase my dogs...haha). I have to give it a minute or so to warm up, and it has been running good.
Until last night when I was prepping it to run into the woods to go pick up the pics from my trail cams. I started it, and didn't realize I was on Reserve, and ran it dry. I got a couple of gallons of gas and filled it back up. Started it and it ran fine, so I drove it to the truck to put it back on and it died. It wouldn't restart unless I held the throttle, and then it ran on a rough idle (like it was starving for fuel). It won't throttle up, no revving, and will barely hold an idle. When I restart the engine, it revs for a brief second, then back to a rough idle. I had to push it back into the garage.
Again, it sounds like it's starving. Knowing that I have mechanical fuel pump, could I possibly have an 'airlock' in the fuel pump? Would it be cured if I pressurized the fuel tank to push the fuel into the system and purge the air?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
