Have you cleaned the carb???? If the bowl isnt filling fast enough for the demand of the engine when you stab the throttle, it will just shut itself down. Then as it sits there for a minute, the bowl fills back up, and you can start it again. Check the filter that is on the petcock that goes into your gas tank. If that filter is clogged you will also starve for fuel when the demand is high, then as it sits the gas will come back into the bowl. Check for kinks in the fuel line, or any other kind of rigged up peices that could be causing a problem, like little plastic fittings in the fuel line. If it isnt that, then I guess maybe it is electrical, but I find it unlikely cause either electrics work, or they dont. What you have is kind of in the middle. Let me know how it works out. Try the petcock first, it should just be two little screws on the bottom of the tank. If that doesnt help pull off the carb and give it a good cleaning. and make sure you check for kinks!!!!!
I almost forgot, make sure your breather on the gas cap is clear as well.
