sounds like the fuels turned off i know you said that it runs for a minute then shuts off but can bikes refil to a small level with having the fuel turned off? or will it completely sease to work and shut a valve or something ?

Make sure the fuel line isn't kinked or the fuel tap blocked. It does sound like a fuelling problem, does it stop running faster if it's revved higher? (I know revving a cold 2t isn't clever). Run it till it dies, then see if there's anything in the floatbowl on the carb. If it's empty then there's no fuel getting through.

Alternatively, it's rapidly siezing after a minute's running, then running when the piston has cooled down and shrunk a bit. If there really isn't anything wrong with the fuelling
