Fuel travels very slow to carb while primed

[lizerb]

Hey guys, so I replaced my fuel lines with clear vinyl tubing and the first time I put the petcock to prime the fuel would go very very slow to the carburetor, it would take like 30 seconds or more. I wasn't trying to start the bike either. Once the fuel reached the carb I started the bike and it stayed on for about 2 minutes I would say. The idle was around 1100 I think but it would surge for a second and go back to normal and then it would slowly die. If i give it throttle it would die instantly. Any information on this would be great, I just want to get my seca running so I can ride with my buddies.
