check to see if your alternator has enough output voltage to keep your battery at a good charge. reading should be around 13-14V

Check injectors maybe flooding gas a little n dies out until u rev it, I have the same problem. My 450cc's don't close so when I crank it up it dies intil I rev for a few sec.
