RE: OS 120S-E PROBLEM
 

Check your idle mixture by clamping off the fuel line as close as possible to the carb. Rpm should rise slightly before the engine starts to die. If it quits abruptly, the mixture is too lean. If it runs a long time before the rpm begins to increase, the mixture is too rich. Give that a try and see if there is any difference in performance.
