    This sounds like a classic fuel blockage. Fuel slowly trickles in, after 15 minutes or so, it will start and run for a few seconds to a minute and then die. Not sure if there is an in-line fuel filter on this one, but I would check that first. After that I would check for dirt in bottom of fuel tank and lastly,if necessary, a close check of the carb.

    Good Luck,
