Hi, I would check the fuses and the relays first. If the fuel pump is old I would replace it anyway, as it is the heart of the fuel system.

The battery is fully charged and it acts like it isn't getting any gas. I tried putting a small amount of gas into the carburetor and it will start only for the few seconds that the gas ignites then it dies again. I think this is a fuel pump problem but I wanted to run it past you guys just to make sure I'm right. Thanks for any help and information you can give me.
