i had same problem once. i didn't let it run for 5-6 mins
it stalled after bout 6 meeters, it was definitely the weather in my case, it was bout 100 Degrees out side, now with cooler weather it never stalls. however i dont' think that's the case for you

Bad gas. We had a similar problem with my mom's ford van, turned out we drained the tank, and out came a bunch of water with the gas. I was pissed because we had been getting gas at this knock-off place because it was 5-7 cents cheaper. I went down there and I let off on the manager of the place for running a shitty outfit. The guy was a total prick. Anyone who puts water in gas they intend to sell should be shot. This is why I only get brand name gas. For a dollar every fill up, its not worth messing around.

Anyway, the first thing I would try is to run a can of Drygas through the thing. If that doesn't work, you probably have carb issues in which case I wish you the best of luck.
