honda engine cuts out after 10 seconds?

Runs perfectly for about 10/15 secs then just cuts out. I've checked everything fuel related (I think) and all ok! Will re-start after about 5 mins and do the same again.
About 18 months old 5.5hp on a Lawnflight 533hrs.
Could it be the plug/coil?

Have you checked that the airfiler is not blocked.
If filter has been cleaned how was it cleaned?
Unless filter is of all sponge constuction they should only been blown out. Most paper type filters do not repond well to being cleaned with fluid. Try starting & running engine with the filter removed. If the engine continues to run replace the filter with a new one. Do not run engine without filter for a prolonged period as this may cause internal damage.
I hope this helps
