Once it cuts out, try disconnecting the fuel line before the carbs and feed
the line into a small bucket. (KEEP A FIRE EXTINGUISHER CLOSE BY).
Have a friend try cranking the engine, and watch to see if gas is pumping.
This will at least let you confirm that you do indeed have a fuel problem.
Next step..try disconnecting and cleaning the Stock Glass fuel Filter. These
have a tendency to be a fuel system bottleneck.
Best of Luck.
