runs then quits

Posted by Dj in Pa. on April 26, 2013 at 12:45:08 from (75.75.181.24):

I recently purchased a 350 gas with c175 engine. It had been sitting several years.Sediment bowl was completely full of gunk. I removed it from tank, flushed tank,put everything back together,and tried to start tractor for first time in years. It will run for 5 or ten seconds and than shut off like it is starved for fuel.I removed the fitting that feeds carb and the screen filter is clean. I removed brass plug at bottom of carb, and clean gas runs out.I ran it about a minute on ether sprayed in breather hoping it would pick up and run but it won't. Any guesses or thoughts on why it is starving for fuel? TIA
