Possible reasons the Black Max BM80544 starts and then dies after installing a new carburetor include:

1. Incorrect Carburetor Installation – Ensure the carburetor is properly installed and all connections, including fuel lines and gaskets, are secure.
2. Clogged Jets or Passages – If the new carburetor has debris or was not cleaned before installation, it may block fuel flow.
3. Improper Fuel Mixture – The carburetor may need adjustment to ensure the correct air-fuel ratio.
4. Blocked Fuel Supply – Check if the fuel tank, fuel filter, or fuel line is clogged, restricting fuel flow.
5. Choke Position – If the choke is left in the START position after the engine is warm, it may cause stalling. Move it to the RUN position.
6. Vacuum Leak – Loose or damaged gaskets between the carburetor and engine can create air leaks, affecting performance.
7. Ignition or Spark Plug Issues – A fouled or shorted spark plug may cause the engine to die after starting.

Check these factors and make necessary adjustments to resolve the issue.
