check the throttle linkage ...it may be not set right ...when its at neutral ...try applying the breaks and watch the carb barrel ..see if when you hit brakes it moves in a little more ..just a guess good luck

+1 also if your only using one, throttle coller a rubber band or a thottle return spring will help it from closing to much.

I had the same problem once it would start up run fine for a couple minutes
and when i hit the brakes it would die. found it to be the clutch bell bearings.
after they warmed up they would just grab.
