With the fuel on remove the drain plug on the carb & catch what comes out in a large coffee can, tap the side of the carb with a large screwdriver handle, this should dis-lodge any trash in the needle & seat, turn the fuel off & replace the drain plug.Turn the fuel back on & after a few minutes fire it up.
Next time it dies, get off & lay your hand on the coil, if it is too hot to touch, the coil has gone bad, if it is just as warm as the engine, then I;ll bet you have a fuel starvation issue.
