Answer
 Hello Ryan:

 If the Engine is Starting and Then Quits, I Suggest you Clean and Rebuild the Carburator; if you have Gas Free Flowing to the Carburatr Inlet Port. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
