I know it sounds like a dumb question but are you sure you have enough gas in the tank? sometimes if you are kinda low, the gas moves around then air bubbles get in the line and then it dies, thats what was happening to mine.

Needle settings? Also, what level is the pipe? I've seen one where it had the pipe mounted too low, and if it wasn't adjusted perfectly, every time it would stop, water would hit the end of the pipe and cause it to stall.

Do you have a tank vent?? I sure hope so, cause what yer describing sounds like ya do'nt. Without a proper tank vent, the tank will create a vacume and the carb wo'nt be able to draw fuel, ending in a stalled engine. :eek: Brian ;)
