Your not getting enough pressure from the exhaust to push fuel up to the carb is what it sounds like... You say your pipe has a hole in it? Besides the stinger?

If every things fine with the pipe you might have a pin hole in your pressure line or maybe even in your tank. At least this is something to check.
