How to get air out of a newly installed gas line
How can I get air out of a newly installed gas line. It will crank and run for a while. Then it goes dead and I have to wait about twenty minutes for it to restart. If I let it sit for a day will that help? Thanks.

Which gas line? before the pump?
Disconnect it at the pump, which is lower than the tank, until fluid flows, then reconnect.
After the pump? before the rear carb?
Disconnect it at the carb until fluid flows, then reconnect.
If it runs then dies, you may have a blockage at the inlet screen on the rear carb.
