Mine is the same year...starts on the first pull...IT JUST DOESN'T STAY RUNNING TO LONG...:eek:

Will do the filter bit and change hoses.

Allow me to suggest thoroughly cleaning both the carburetor AND the fuel pump, too.
Then change the fuel lines to Silverado 4000 Ethanol resistant types.
Use ethanol-free gasoline, if available.
If you must use gasahol, your fuel, if fresh, will not undergo phase separation for 5 - 8 weeks. With Startron or marine Stabil, this is extended to 24-30 weeks, and happens at a much slower rate.

If you just change the gas, and spray out the jets, you've left out the portions of the contaminated fuel delivery system in between.
