I have replaced the spark plug, fuel filter, and fuel lines. I have also cleaned the carburetor. I have spark and seem to be getting at least enough fuel to start the engine but it will not stay running
If you spray staring fluid into the intake and it stays running you have a bad carburetor
Reclean rebuild or replace the carb
Can you people not read
yeah we can read and 95% of people think spraying carb cleaner is cleaning their carb and the limited symptoms you have given point to fuel delivery if off kill or safety switch failed wouldnt start at all so read an instruction sheet for rebuilding or replacing carb
You obviously can't read cause I asked a yes or no question
The kill switch can't be the problem.
If it does slowly, its fuel related. (Clogged cap vent most likely cause if it runs ok for several minutes.)
If it dies abruptly, its electrical related. Most likely cause is coil that opens when it gets hot.

Take out the float and sit it in a container of fuel for 10 minutes and if it floats it's ok but if it sinks that's the problem
Did you clean the float bowl, it collects dirt and stops fuel to the needle valve
