1986 Dodge Truck V8 Four Wheel Drive Manual

I am looking at a 1986 Dodge W150 with a v-8 engine. The truck starts fine, then after 2-3 min. it dies out and struggles to restart, then dies after 1-2 min.

This truck has sat most of the last few years other than some snow plow work. I tried new gas and the same problem. I am thinking about replacing the carb to see if that is the issue.

Any help?

You might want to check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump and fuel filter before you replace the carb
