Re: runs for 5 seconds, dies. repeat. 75 245 200 1975

It sounds to me like what it is doing is using the fuel from the cold start injector, which gives you a few seconds running time. The question now is why won't it run on. Clearly it has a spark.

Try seeing if the metering flap on the (I am assuming this is a K jet???) has got stuck. No lift on the flap, no fuel. If you have developed a chronoc air leak, by some breather hose coming off it will have the same effect. The metering flap won't lift because the air leak prevents a vacuum forming, ergo no injected fuel, leads to no run.

Regards
