Fixing Car That Shuts Off Randomly
If fresh gas, you should check and replace the air filter (if needed) and remove and replace spark plug(s). Change the oil while you're at it (but this has little to cause the problem you're describing).
It sounds like it could be either a stuck choke, or a dirty carb. If you can see the choke moving freely you should try cleaning the carb jet and bowl. If you can try some carb cleaner first without removing the carb.
If you get it running, ensure you have fresh gasoline. I always store my engines with Seafoam to clean the carbs and keep the gas from going bad during storage.
if this has been sitting,,even if it hasn't, #1clean or replace the air filter, #2have the carb professionally cleaned and set, and #3 replace the spark plug.
Sounds as if the gas tank is not breathing properly. The next time you run it, when it's about to die, loosen the gas cap. It should begin to run again. This is a sure sign that your gas cap is clogged. Clear gas cap of debris, or buy a new one.
