It's having fuel draw issues. Check that no fuel lines are being pinched, fitting on muffler is not partially blocked and that the air bleed screw is not all the way open.

Are you priming the engine before you try to start it?

Lol that's the "problem", open the throttle all the way, put your finger over the carb or exhaust and flip the prop until you see fuel go into the carb, without the igniter of course , then try to start it. An engine cant run if it doesn't have fuel.
