carb need a clean maybe ? any other problems like flooding or carb overflowing ? all electrics working ?

most cases if she starts ok but then cuts out its a fuel problem ...wip of the carb and sit at a table with it on a old towel or sheet and strip and clean .

Sounds like the throttle cable has lodged either at the splitter or at the carb

Or you have put the slider the wrong way around, should be a slight gap as you look into the carb
