Hey fest,
Is that a "Fletch" reference? It's made up right?
On to the topic,
A few possibilities come to mind:
Bad Gas and the computer is ticked - have you tried turning the Perko off and seeing if it behaves the same (shuts down immediately).
Vapor lock
Clogged fuel pump/filter/screen/line causing low fuel pressure
One of the fuel pumps is bad
Go in the Maintenance section and find the doc about how to manually run the fuel pump(s). This may help you isolate the issue.
