    You ned 3 things to run an engine; air, fuel and spark. When you start your engine you must have all three but then one fades and the engine dies. Remove the air filter to help insure the air flows more freely and see if that improves the running. If notit is time to start taking apart the carb but we will need all of your engine info to go further.
