460 running issue

Ive got a 1985 Tioga camper with a 460 gas motor in it.

The engine has been very reliable and has started every time.Recently it has began starting very briefly and dying.It has gas in it.The vehicle has an electric fuel pump which I can hear running.I was told there is a relay somewhere on the radiator support that may be the problem.Has anyone had this problem or can tell me where this relay is as it seems like the easiest place to start.

I have not taken the fuel line off at the carb as it does start briefly meaning it does get fuel everytime I try it but for some reason it dies almost immediately.Any help would be appreciated.Jordan
