You might have an intake manifold issue. I recently had a similar problem where my motor would start up fine and in 5 to 10 seconds, run a little rough and then shut off. If you motor is making lots of noise when it does run, check your manifold gaskets, it should cover all 4 exhaust port and the 2 intake ports from the carburetor. A last issue could be related to the fuel line clogging up. Check the screen filter in the intake to the right side of the carb. Remove any sediment and replace.
