    Well, the way you describe it running OK for a brief second makes it sound like ignition problems…Kinda hard to say without hearing the engine. Have you done a spark check? Compression check? This engine should be able to jump a 1/4" spark gap while cranking….
    Perhaps it is a simple as bad plugs….
    Check the simple stuff…
