Glad you got it running properly and glad you reported back what the problem was. Too often, members don't report what the fix was for a problem they were seeking help with.

i kept thinking when i first started it up it looked like it was a fire hose in the clear filter, however now it was not. marked it down that maybe it had something to do with the return line since it was leaking at the tank so bad. i am guessing i twisted it looking for fuel leaks and did not realize i had almost completely choked it off.

now it is running so much better, and when i give it gas from the pedal it roars and keeps running.

thanks all for the help would not get there if not for you all..

Glad you solved your issue, told you after owning our mutt for 18 years that filter should be filled with fuel. :D
