Husqvarna 435 x Torq fuel problem

[Ant411]

Hello everyone
Have an old Husqvarna 435 that I am trying to get running again. Here's what's happening. I prime the bulb put the choke on pull the cord to start it and it will run for a split second and then shut off like it's supposed to. then I shut the choke off go to start it and it will not start again unless the choke is on and I prime it again. It is as if it does not want to suck fuel on its own. If I prime the primer bulb again it will run for a second then die.

Clean your carb, call it a day.

New Carb kit and check the gas line for leaks, check tank vent vacuum.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I agree with both of you but the carburetor is brand new and the fuel lines are brand new along with the fuel filter. I just replaced all of them. Also air filter is new along with spark plug.

After further investigation today I found a little tear in the intake manifold. A new one is on the way..
Could this have caused that problem.? I am thinking it was sucking air instead of fuel

Manifold came in the mail today. Got it all back together with the new manifold couple little adjustments fired right up runs great now.
