wont start after running it out of gas

The most likely cause of your problem is a faulty fuel pump.
When you put gas in the carb. You bypass the fuel pump, the engine runs but can't continue because it does not get a steady supply of fuel from the fuel pump (thus the most likely cause is a bad fuel pump).

The factory fuel pump (it is electric) is located under the vehicle near the gas tank.
Also check/the fuel filter to see if it is clogged BEFORE replacing the fuel pump (if the fuel filter is severely clogged, it can cause the same symptoms).

HOW 'BOUT TAKING THE FUEL LINE LOOSE JUST BEFORE THE CARB----ADD HOSE (WHATEVER) DUMP IT IN A JAR (OR WHEREVER) .....DOES FUEL COME THRU THE LINE AND FILL THE JAR AS YOU TURN THE ENGINE OVER????.........IF NOT, COULD BE A PLUGGED FUEL FILTER OR A BAD FUEL PUMP
