I have double checked everything I can, it has spark, it has gas to the carb, what is funny that it started and ran two days earlier. It almost seems like the gas is not coming OUT of the carb. I put a piece of paper over the carb to make sure the engine was sucking in air and it is.
Check for water or bad fuel
does your carb have a fuel shut off solenoid? if so, you should be able to hear it click when the key is powered on. sometimes they will click , but not open fullyOriginally Posted by adventurer 94

No I don't have a solenoid, gas go's from tank to fuel pump, witch is new, to the carb. I have not pulled the top off the carb yet because I don't have a new gasket for it, but that is the only thing I have not done yet. Yesterday I checked the wires on the front of the Engine and tried a start it again, it only firers for a second or two if I use starting fluid, then it will run for up to 5 seconds then it dies.
most of the time you can reuse that gasket. I would say go ahead and pull it. if the gasket tears and you can't run it you won't be any worse off than you are now, but you might have a better idea what the issue is.

have you checked to make sure fuel is not shut off and you have good fuel flow and check for water in the gas
Check that you have a good proper guage power wires and connections from the battery to the starter and good ground from engine to battery......I just had a similar situation and a bad ground was the culprit!
