stalling when raw water valve is opened

Hi folks,

I'm trying to get my A4 back up and running (on land atm) after having not tested the engine since summer 2019 (again on the hard). At that time it functioned correctly, and got to operating temperature in 5 minutes or so. Ran it for 10 minutes, then called it a day.

This year I have replaced the plugs and CAN get the engine running, but as soon I dip the test hose back into the buck the engine slows down and dies.

Does this strike you as more of a fuel / carb problem vs something else? I have not been able to find this particular condition in the manual or searching the forum.

The last test I did I removed the cover plate to check the impeller and let the water drain out completley before trying again. After running for 30-60s, put the hose back in the bucket and it slowly died.

Thanks in advance for your feedback on this one.
