I bought this truck a week ago. It ran fine for about a week, but now won't stay running. Its starts up just fine but then after a few seconds, even if I give it gas, it just dies out. I'll start it up and try to get it to stay going 3-4 time before it starts spitting out gas under near the front left tire. My car buddy initially thought the idle just needed to be turned up, but he played with it and stay can't figure it out. He thinks its something to do with the carborator which when I bought the truck the guy said it was just rebuilt this year. What do you think?

Your fuel line is leaking therefore you're losing fuel pressure-Fix the leak and go from the there.
