Default Re: A Newbie Question: My A starts right up but dies after a few seconds.... ideas?

Hallo Chris,

I had a similar problem and found out that the fuel line was partially clogged. The flow of fuel seemed OK when tested, but really it wasn't.

The partial clog occurred in the fuel shut off valve where a small piece of something plastic looking was partially blocking the fuel flow. I believe it was a piece of teflon type tape that had been used to seal the threaded joints of the fuel lines.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Hessen!

Fordially,
Brad in Germany
