Recently purchased FJ60 after sitting in storage for +-4 years. Previous owner said it ran good when parked. When I got cruiser home it would run off starter fluid. So I drained all fuel from tank. Replaced fuel pump, filter, and all rubber fuel lines inside the engine compartment. Cruiser will now run and rev at 2000rpm for approximately +-30 seconds then stale and die. Won't restart immediately. I'll let it sit for a about 2-3 mins and will restart with same results. Cruiser will idle without any problems. I'm seeing a lot of air in fuel filter when engine is running. It also appears to me that the fuel filter isn't completely filling. Cruiser engine appears to rev and idle perfect during 30 second period. What should I check or replace at this point?
Update. I monitored carburetor sight glass. At idle the level is about 1/4” into sight glass. When I rev engine level disappears and engine dies. After a couple of mins not running level in sight glass is half. Does this help diagnosis?
