I have a predator 212cc engine that will crank and run just a minute then dies. Does anyone have any thoughts?

How about some back story.
Did you just buy it?
Has it sat in a pile of junk in back of the barn for 5 years?
Is it stock, or modified?
Does it have fresh gas?
I'm gonna bet it needs a good carb cleaning.

Does it RUN run, or just sputter and chug run?

If it RUNS and then dies , you've likely got a clogged up float valve or your float won't open fully. Or your shutoff valve isn't open fully. Your engine is using fuel faster than the bowl is filling.
