If it's starting then dying  it could be a fuel problem .You could try spraying easy start in the intake whilst cranking and  see if it starts then

Yes I have sprayed quick start in the intake and it dose run a bit longer,maybe fuel filter ,or fuel pump in tank?

You should hear the fuel pump for a few seconds when ignition turned on . If not , check for any fuses or relay for fuel pump . If everything o.k may be the fuel filter or pump in tank 

Only one I could find is not in English
