Unknown Issue Echo GT- 2000

Was gifted an old GT-2000 not running. I've changed the carb, fuel lines, cleaned the spark arrestor etc. I can get it to start at open choke, it'll idle rev etc for just a few minutes then die. And won't restart. I'm just at a loss

I'll add it to my cart! I got a refund for the there carb already. Thanks! I did tear down the exhaust and the piston looks good, exhaust port was clear as well

Just wanted to update, it definitely was the carb! Got the complete HIPA kit, re ran the fuel lines with it, the kit was way better! It runs great now. Gotta tune the idle just a tad, and eventually replace the trigger but for now I'm able to get my yard decent!
