Default GY6 Starts, runs shortly, dies

I just got my gy6 running yesterday. The motor was replaced after oil was leaking through the valves. Today, I started it and drove it to our garage to fix a leaky carb drain hose. I put a spare carb on, but it would not run. I repaired the hose by cutting out a 1/8 in section at one end where it was leaking. It was then re-installed. However, It did not want to run. I finally got it started, and it idled for around 2 minutes. Then, I drove it about 15 feet and it died. I tried to start it, and it hit once. I think it's a wiring issue, but any ideas? Thanks
