line releasing it each time i pump i can get the air out
and then it may start and may not it seems to start and run good when its cold ,,,help????

For some reason your fuel system may have an air leak in it. I have the same problem sometimes and it is especially true on hot days. Make sure all of your fuel line connections are good and that you have no leaks in your line itself. ANother trick I learned here was to put a "sprig" of armor all into your gallon of fuel to stop air bubbles from being formed in your fuel tank.

Sprig - a really small spray. A little goes a long ways. Remember you can add more if you didn't put enough into your gallon of fuel. Shake the gallon jug afterwards and you will be amazed of your results.

I'm gonna say that you are probably running too lean and over heating the engine. An air leak could easily account for this. The leak would be in the fuel tank itself from the way you describe it, but I'm going to suggest you richen up your settings and then see what happens.
