engine still cutting out

2004 carb fazer,i can get the engine to start but it runs for about 5 secs and stops. tried wirng the fuel pump so it is wired to ignition live and same result. i have shorted out clutch switch and side stand switch but it will not keep running.
for the short time that it does run it sounds sweet so i am sure its an electrical problem. have i overlooked something simple? any help appreciated

Some flamable aerosol in the inlet(s helpers needed lol) after the 5 secs would rule out a fuel problem

Just incase it was beating the fuel pump or float chambers, 1 of those things you can't really see.

An old trick is to put a strobe timing light on it and observe if it is still flashing as it it dies, this can confirm spark is happening or not.

is there a " tip over " switch in the wiring?.

if so have you overriden it(held right way up and pumped full of silicon sealer usually does the trick).

I'd have a look for the Tip over switch if there is one. 5 seconds is what I've heard mentioned before for the cut out time
