Engine won't stay running

[kenworth85]

I've got an 80cc engine starts fine but dies. I've cleaned the carb, checked for trash in the tank and lines. Checked plug. I've tried everything I know to do. Engine ran fine. Last week.

You could try adjusting the carb. If the engine has bad compression it could need a rebuild maybe? But I would say try adjusting the carb if you haven't done that yet

Thank you but its not an adjustable carb. BTW read your post from a while back for help. Its not very often I get any replies.

I hate to say it but I have seen and heard it hear a million times, "Clean the carb Again"

If it had been sitting I would suggest a product called "Sea foam".
But since it was running last week, It must have got something (dirt, dust, debris) stuck somewhere, you gotta get that cleaned out

Have you checked the Carb float and needle and seat.
What type of 80cc engine is this?

Its Briggs on a small go kart.

Does it have the carb on the gas tank?

If it's a pulse pump try tightening the carb to tank screws first and try it. And put a new plug also.
