It would be either fuel or ignition related...
Fuel problem is the most common, so start there.
With the engine running, you can remove the air cleaner and spray WD40 into the intake...
You will hear if you are spraying too much or not enough to keep it running...
If it continues to run longer than it did with gasoline... you have found the problem is fuel related.

If it dies about the same... then look for spark delivery problems... :smile:KennyV
