I had that problem once. Some not so smart person spliced my solid fuel line together with a rubber hose. The hose dry-rotted and cracked, letting air in the line. If I were you, I would inspect your solid fuel line to see if it is pinched anywhere. Also, there is a rubber hose in the back that connects the line to the gas tank. Maybe that is cracked?

Make sure your fuel line isn't too close to anything that could get hot and cause a vapor lock.  If this is happening a few minutes after startup, that is about the time things will start warming up!   :pullinghair:
