Is there any other fuel screens besides in the sediment bowl? I have been having to run it with the choke out the last few times I've ran it or it runs real ruff and dies I thought it had clog somewhere in the gas screen
 
Did you check the fuel flow through the carburetor? Remove the plug on the bottom of the carburetor and see if there is a good flow. Make sure you wait until the bowl empties out before you observe the flow from the sediment bowl. If there is a good flow then you don't have a supply problem. There could be something gummed up in the carburetor. Did the engine run alright and then just develop this problem out of the blue?
 
Do not forget the sediment bowl itself. I have had them plug up where they thread into the tank or in the valve itself.
 

Yeah I'll check the fuel flow out of the Carb it just started out of the blue really I sure hope its not in the sediment bowl I just filled the tank a couple weeks ago

If it is plugged at the sediment bowl opening you can clear it, temporarily, with a small piece of wire. Put a short bend at the end of the wire and shove it up into the tank. But I doubt that will be the problem if you never had this problem before. If all else fails dump a can of seafoam in the tank and see if that will unclog the carburetor.
 

Thanks everyone! I pulled the bowl off the sediment bowl and it was full of junk in the screen sprayed Carb cleaner in there and seems to work now although I only ran it for a few jinked supposed to get a few inches of snow so maybe I will get some seat time!
