Vacuum leak. Check all your hoses, etc.

Happy Saturday to all,
    The following concerns a 82 Westy, but you water-cooled folks might be
able to help too.   just got done installing and hooking up our rebuilt
motor,  started on the third try!  But now the problem.....it starts but
won't keep running more than 5 to 10 seconds.  It acts like it might not be
getting fuel after that point, but I haven't checked that yet.  Any other
reason this might be happening?  Could the ECU have gone bad all of a
sudden?  Any and all comments would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Mark Sheflo
