I can't seem to keep my engine running.
I can get it to turn over, when i choke the engine and give it some extra gas, it's running at about 2500RPM, then it shuts off.
I had a galvanized gas tank that has a bit of rust in it, so i went and got some 91(didn't have 93) octane gas in a 2 gallon tank and have the fuel line feeding from that now.
I still can't get it to keep running. The fuel filter still has a bit of rust in it, should i clean that out?
Do I need to make some Carburetor adjustments?
Any help would be great, engine is a Chrysler 318

Also the fuel pump is brand new, he does has the fuel filter after the fuel pump though.
I figured, common sense would be to go
Gas Tank, Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump, Carburetor?
