Fuel Tank repaired; Carb, eft, fuel pump, filter & lines changed... Runs well in idle - on an incline it will stall - after a few minutes will start & run. Put a clear line in near filter and it runs out of fuel when on incline.

It sounds like the feed line in the fuel tank is either plugged or the pump can't keep up with the needs of the engine.
