harleyice,............You're going to have to give a little more information for your problem. What, where, when, why. Maybe then, someone will know enough to help you.

Is the enrichener pushed in or is it still out when it cuts out? If it's cutting out when you push in the enrichener you may need to adjust the low speed mixture screw on the carb. Start by closing the screw gently then open it 2 turns.

What kind of carb is it? Did you get into its insides any at all? I'm thinking diaphram!
