sounds like the fuel isn't staying in the pipe.. find out if there is a non return valve in the line......

just spoke to me bird she sad it starts idles ok, but as soon as you touch the accelerator,or go to pull off it cuts out,but once its warm its ok,i just said just sit there till its warm,but with women theres no doing that lol
