I think it is stale petrol that's why it coughs on easy start then dies. My advice for what it's worth try taking the carb bowl off empty clean and fill with new fresh from the pumps petrol. (Whilst it is off prime the pump a few times and fuel should come out the needle valve. If it doesn't there's the problem clean valve and filter and try again. If still no fuel check pump.) It should run for a few seconds quite well until the new petrol has been used up. If that happens you have proved its stale fuel drain the tank and pump and fill with new petrol.
Modern petrol has up to 10% ethernol added to it this evaporates off within 6 weeks making you car run like a bag of nails.
Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
