hey,
Just installed my new pullstart and ran my truck before i sell it....neways....it screamed...at about half a tank it clicked and stalled. Is this because the tanks leaning it to the point where it is overheating? I mean it really runs great up until that point...

Sounds like you could be running so lean that when you get down to half a tank that there is not even enough pressure to drive enough fuel to the carb to keep it running. This can happen when either the backpressure line is clogged or you are running wayyyyy too lean.

Are you checking your temps at all? If so, check it before you get to half a tank or right when it stalls and let us know what you are at.
 
Christian Mentioned temps but not any numbers so here are some optimum temp running conditions:

210º-280º
Those temperatures would be Ideal for a .21 or the new S25.
