'08 Rubicon won't stay running

[fhe]

Use coldstart prime to start, runs for 5- 10 seconds and quits. Tried choke-no choke, throttle-no throttle. Ran good last time out, never an issue. Seems to be a fuel problem. Will not start unless primed. Suggestions??

Try taking the gas cap off and starting it, could be air locked, have had this happen before on my Rubi, and my bro inlaws Brute

This was on Sunday @ -8, so everything should be good. I thought about frozen lines but has been colder with same fuel in tank and no problem. Have to spend some time with it I guess.

Well if your were riding it lately, it's possible you may have injested some snow into the intake for your carb and it has coated your air filter with a nice film of ice. something you might want to check. Its happened to me in the past.

Solved, appears it was ice in the fuel. Gasline antifreeze and all is good. Being that it started with primer thought it's problem was deeper than that.
