If it starts as you release the key, then the spark ain't so good due to weak battery, weak coil, old plugs or wires.

I think those machines have a ballast resistor hooked to the coil. If that is bad it would cause it to start but then shut off as soon as you let go of the key from start position. It is down on the right side of the motor by the coil and tricky to get at.

The Michelin Guide with its star rating system originated in France in 1900. The guide was created as a marketing tool to encourage more car travel and consequently increase the demand for tyres. It initially contained maps, tire repair instructions, and lists of restaurants, hotels, and mechanics.
