What causes a small engine to quit running after a few minutes?

Two reasons why the engine would quit running after a few minutes: it dies from flooding or it dies from starvation. Starvation may be due to a clogged fuel filter or the needle valve is too much to the closed position. Flooding may be due to the needle valve being too much in the open position or the float being stuck in the open position.

You have put two starters on a 1989 Nissan truck in the last month What could make the starters go bad?
This is a general that will cover most vehicles. I have found the major cause of repeat starter motor failiure is caused by the motor being energised when the engine is running. The most common cause of this problem is a faulty ignition switch, this causes current to flow to the starter motor when the engine is running. The way to test this is when the engine is running use a test light connected from the small terminal on the starter soleonoid to earth the test light should not light Good luck

Yes, assuming you're running a small block. If you're running a turbocharged engine or a big block (e.g., the 454SS pickup), the torque of that engine will greatly exceed what the transmission is rated for.
What causes a 2000 sable to rough idle when cold but a smooth idle when engine is warm?
Most likely bad intake manifold gasket. When the engine is cold the engine shrinks which unseals the intake and allows a small amount of unregulated air into the engine causing it to idle rough. as the engine heats up it expands sealing the leak causing idle to improve. You should also get lean codes from the computer as the engine is running to lean. Very common problem with the DOHC engine. See "Related Questions" below for more
What could casue rough idle shuddering loss of power and smell of gas in a 93 camaro only happens after the car has been running for a few minutes?
have your injectors checked out, it could also be fowled spark plug. --- If the engine stops with a smell of fuel then its likely you have a fuel line leak. What is happening is that the injector has a small reservoir of fuel in it and this starts the engine. Then the fuel pump kicks in as this is used and pumps a bubble of air from the leak up into the injector which stops the engine. The engine stops and any fuel left above the leak falls back down the fuel lead and leaks out the hole which causes the smell of petrol. ---
