So, like the title says I am having serious trouble starting. The engine won’t start unless i put in the throttle and even then it’ll crank for maybe about ten seconds before it turns over. If i don’t stick in teh throttle it’ll just die.  
any suggestions?

if it was the fuel pump wouldn’t it be a constant problem? like sputtering and whatnot?
