86 22r Carb not taking fuel
My 4wd has been running great till this morning now the only way I can get it to start is by pouring gas in the carb. Runs till gas is gone then dies. Pulled the line from the pump to the carb and it's getting fuel to the carb. Sight glass on carb is empty. What should my next step be?
Thanks

Since the sight glass did not show any fuel, the issue was a stuck float needle valve. That prevented any fuel from entering the flaot bowl. Tapping on the fuel cut solenoid caused the needle valve to dislodge.

Thanks for the info.. Hopefully it won't do it again. I really don't want to pull the carb apart.

I agree with Slow-Mo. If he hadn't said it, I would have. If it happens again, I would go in there and clean it all out with carb cleaner. I had this exact problem on my old dirt bike. It uses a similar system when talking about the float bowl. Just pull it apart if it happens frequently and clean everything out of there.
