Sounds like a fuel problem to me, whether its a clogged fuel line or filter, old dirty gas, carb is fucked, bad fuel pump, etc. Does it have fresh gas? Is that an online fuel filter in the engine nay that you can see dirt in? Does it run rough the whole time or smooth then just die? Could also be the carb is not tuned right leaving the air/fuel mixture messed up. Be more specific, describe exactly what happens when its running and when it dies.

well i changed the fuel filter, dave witt gave us a new electric gas pump, we havent taken apart the carbs yet, but it runs but sounds like u r semi stepping on the gas when u have the choke out but once u put the choke back in it dies

It's not getting enough fuel. Either your electric fuel pump isn't pumping enough gas, or your carvs need to be adjusted. Find the idle air mixture screw and turn it clockwise until it doesn't die with the choke out. And ya, start a new thread.
