ya got gas in it? (sorry don't mean to make you think i think your     but I can't begin to tell the number of times I've seen ppl go nuts on ez stuff!)

 did I read right? you have NO gas coming out of the hose when you crank it?

my problem now is that i can get gas in the carb and it will start up but it wll run for a couple of seconds and then it will just cut out...

Did you connect the wire to the anti diesel silonoid?  It needs to have switched power or it will cut the fuel going to the carb.

Did I read it right when you said you got the fuel pump from a pick and pull.  Better off just getting a new one so that wikk be one less thing to worry about

Jared----that kinda sounds like the fuel SCREEN located at where the fuel line joins the carb. It unscrews..and there's a metal "thimble" screen  in there...check it out.

see the thing is that when i went to pick n pull i saw a toyota with not one spec of dirt.  it lookedclean.  it looked like they planned on keepin that trucjk. the cylinder head was brand spankin new, there was not one spec of dirt or grime were the spark plug hole is, the rocker arm assembly was brand spankin new and it ha da brand new fuel pump cause it still had this funky sticker on it ssaying that it was shipped to the store 3 weeks ago. then i wondered what the truck was doing at pick n pull and man thatrear half of the truck wa s just totaled.  think about a truck with its rear axle moved about 11 inches forward.  it had a busted windshield right in front so you could see were the driver hit their head.  man i felt bad.  oh y ah the truc k also had a brand new carb as well.  what a find...
