32cc Sears weedwacker starts but dies after 3 or 4 seconds?

Weedwacker starts then dies after 3 or 4 seconds. I replaced all the fuel lines, filter, sparkplug and disassembled and cleaned carburator. Also replaced fuel pump diaphragm.

do you have the fuel hoses reversed on the primer bulb? The short connector on the primer should connect to the carby.

Could be that the fuel/air mix is too lean. If you have to pull the starter cord a couple of times before the motor fires and dies, that's the probable cause.
