Why does it keep turning off after a few secs
It has an air flow problem. I can put my hand over to carb and it runs, but with the air filter it doesn't. I replaced the air filter twice already and cleaned the carb.

Sounds like its a fueling issue, or there lack of.. When your hand is over it you're restricting the air flow and the engine is receiving the right amount of air to fuel.. But with the filter on, its drawing too much air for the amount of fuel its getting.. Check the fuel lines, fuel filter, and carb settings if it has any tuning screws. If its a float type, make sure the needle valve isn't sticking.
