Thanks to all that have helped. Here's an update...
Had it running tonight, but it's not fixed.
Technically, it was out of fuel but not what you think.
Tried to prime it up using the hand plunger. Noticed fuel was coming out the bottom of the fuel filter. That little plastic water separator thingie at the bottom of the fuel filter was loose, fuel was gushing out of it. I'd assume that it probably drained the filter sitting there overnight.
Screwed that in and primed the system up. Engine started and ran for about 5-8 seconds and died.
Primed it again (plunger was easy to push) and did it again. Again 5-8 seconds and died.
Primed it again, this time kept priming it while the enigne was running and it ran until I quit priming it (close to a minute), but died within about 10 seconds of stopping priming it.
My thought is to get a fuel filter for it tomorrow and try again. Any help is appreciated.
It acts like it just won't bleed out or something is majorly wrong. From what i've been told the pumps on these don't just puke, so I'm hoping it's just a bleeding thing.
