first time down the track advise?

I agree replace that hose.
also remove your gas cap and see what happens.
It's acting just like my car when i fix a cracked vent hose that was full of bugs........created a vaccum in the fuel tank.......ran out of fuel.
One quick stomp down the road will answer that question.
Also check your float bowls, if there to low it will do the same thing to you!
