Check the little hole in the gas cap.make sure it's not clogged.

also check fuel filter and is it the same plug still? if so get a new one. ngk cmr7h

a lot of people think its cool to put a sticker on the fuel cap lid, but your just killing the air from getting inside, each time you refuel you let a little bit of air in but once it gets sucked up your engine will cut out because it wont get any fuel

i bet the gas cap makes a hissing sound when removed. make sure the hole in the cap amd the holes in rubber under cap are clear and free. sounds like an air lock.

check your fuel lines over good....maybe air getting in?

Thanks guys I will have a look later but I know the hole in the gas cap is clear cause fuel drips out of it and I've checked the fuel filter and it still look new so idk what to try now

common problem. make sure to use a tiny bit of blue. locktite on the bolts. i also prefer to use some sealer on the gaskets. some guys don't, but iv seen a lot of threads about air leak issues.
