It lost power while driving home to a rough idle. I got it home, checked fuel pump and filters. It is getting fire because it acts like it wants to start but doesnt. It will sometimes start if i prime the carb but again it only idles rough and dies if i give it gas. What is next on the list??? Thanks

Hi:
If it runs when you prime the engine, I would say the fuel pump is bad. Check it for pressure and volume.

Let me know what you find.
