O no not another one......
Theres many possibilities but that said you would need to give more details of problem before people can comment!
My general opinion based upon what you have said ie that it cuts out intermittently i would say that its likely to be dirt particles blocking the main idle jet.

Let us know more in respects of condition of carb .... :ok

perhaps more fool hardy trying to save a buck or two before admitting defeat and letting a real pro have look at it would be more accurate :)
