Stop running is not a clutch problem if it takes off then just dies!! Look at lack of fuel. Fuel filter?

Check the fuel lines for cracks replace the fuel filter and you may want to clean the carb.Also look at the tank cap make sure the vent hole isn't plugged.

pull the line off at the carb and crank it. Be sure to put it on jack stands first or remove the drive belt before cranking as it WILL take off at the wrong momentU should see a constant pulse of gas as its cranking.
