Yes
if it has a carburetor it is normal
Start by trying a good carb cleaner in the gas. If that does not work you will have to take the carb. apart and clean it. Hope this helps.
The carburetor needs rebuilding.
To start a Saturn after running out of gas, a little ether sprayed in the carburetor might help. Another way to start a vehicle after running out of gas is to pump the gas until it gets enough to start.
Clean out the carburetor with gas, the reason it wont keep running is its not getting enough gas through the carburetor.
Under the hood find the carburetor and the gas line leading into the carburetor and disconnect or cut it and try to start the car if when you start the car and gas squirts out its not the fuel pump but if it doesnt do anything it is your fuel pump
if you have a carburetor you need to put gas in it. to get it started.
More than likely it is a gas problem. Either the filter is clogged, the gas tank has something in the bottom clogging the outlet, you are out of gas, the carburetor is gummed up or if it is a riding mower it might be the solenoid on the bottom of the carburetor is not working properly. If you haven't used it in a while the chances are it is in the carburetor itself. You can verify it is a gas problem by spraying some carburetor cleaner into the carburetor while it is trying to die and see if it continues to run on the cleaner.
take the tubing off of the carburetor that is attached to the gastank and let tank drain, reattach disconnected hose/s to the carburetor, fill tank with proper mixture and start!
It's called a primer bulb, ebay is a good place to start looking. :)
If your 2001 Club Car gas cart turns over but will not start, you might have an empty gas tank or a clogged carburetor. You could also have fouled spark plugs.
