Thank you to everyone that replied. A couple days ago I tuned the carb because it was out of tune this caused it to run great for a bit then it died again and the fuel in the pump was filthy so I’m going to do what one of you guys suggested and replace all the lines and see where I’m at

Like FuzzFace suggests put a gauge in just before the carb to start narrowing your issue and confirming its fuel related (and pressure vs volume are slightly different but in this case, a pressure gauge should give you a really safe starting point whether the issue is before or after the gauge - and at that point you can also decide if other things may be going on). Otherwise you're just throwing stuff at the wall. Then you can start working back (or forward) and isolate the source of the issue - or issues.
That said, replacing your rubber lines is always a safe bet for the reason given above - they collapse on the inside (especially older fuel lines when ethanol is introduced). But you still need some solid data points here so you can narrow in your issue.

Yes I plan on installing a gauge after I replace the lines, I’m going to replace the lines anyway because they are most likely bad. If replacing the lines does not effect it then I will go and get a gauge to narrow down my problem
