Hi. I ran out of gas today. When I put about 4 gallons into the tank and then tried to start her up it was a no go. She turns over fine but does not catch she sounds healthy and I tried pumping the gas peddle for a good five min. Any clue?

Try eithere a spray of starting fluid into the air filter. Or turning the key to on, waiting 2-3 secs, then back to off, repeat 4-5 times! This will build fuel pressure to the required pressure.
