Default cart died after running problem free for the season

Picked up my grandma's G1 from the golf course a few weeks ago and it had sat for a while. I put a battery into it and tried to start it and had no fuel. I pressurized the gas tank while cranking it and got the fuel flowing and the cart started right up. I drove it around for a week or so with no issues. Short trips up and down the road and around my yard. Then while on a run down the road it just petered out and died. I haven't been able to get it running since.

I checked the fuses, the wiring, and the plug. I tried the pressurized tank thing again as the fuel filter is always empty. Again I got nothing. I bought a new coil but I've yet to put it on. I pulled the carb off and everything looked ok. I blew out the passages with my compressor and like I said it seems fine.

It sounds to me like it wants to start if I spray ether into the carb but I've got nothing.

Any suggestions?

Also I tried to pressurize the tank I noticed that it doesn't fill up the filter. Not sure if that's the problem.

It's a clear filter and it appears clean, but I planned on changing it to eliminate a problem.

Dumb question I know, but, you are using an oil mixed gas right?

It's got the external oil tank and it's got oil in it. It's been used in that fashion since new so I'd be surprised if it was the issue.

I disconnected the hose from the filter inlet and then pressurized the tank and didn't flow out. The sides of the tank swelled up to do I know there was some pressure in it. Is there a way to check the line in the tank?

I guess I could just blow air back into the tank with the air compressor and listen for bubbles.

If it doesn't is there just a hose in the tank or is it a special piece of tubing?

Do you know the i.d. of the fuel line by chance?
