Because if there is a whole in the fuel line it may have pulled something through it.

Sounds like an air leak to me. If it will run when choked... the air has to come from somewhere or the fuel wouldnt burn.

Would also make sense for the starting problem, with not enough suction to draw fuel?

Ruh roh, sounds like reeds...

Never heard of them having a problem after a few gallons, usually it's an initial issue right?

 

[SupaTim]

Nope, just fiberglass and they can chip or fail pretty much any time. Also if anything gets sucked in and doesn't allow the reed to lay flat it could prevent the vacuum necessary to draw fuel correctly.

On another note, how is that yak coming along?

 

[bbrown2828]

Ok checked reeds nothing seemed to be under them checked diaphragm it looked good removed needles and checked them all good carb screen was clean, the carb bolts did seem a half a turn loose so I hope that was the problem bout to put it back to get or and go from there
