I have a 49cc motor that has less then 20 miles on it. After about 4 or 5 times of running it just stop working. Now when I pop the clutch and it start to run I engage the clutch and it just stops. If i just give it gas instead of engaging the clutch it still dies. Can someone please help me with this ???

Let me just start by saying that when you "pop the clutch" which means release the lever, that is engaging the clutch. Pulling the lever disengages the clutch.
Lever out = clutch engaged
Lever in = clutch disengaged
That should just make it easier to comprehend the rest of the thread.

Keep the clutch engaged and keep pedalling until the engine gets up and running and takes the strain.
It does sound like it may be choked so check the choke position and check that the air filter isnt gunked up with oil. It could be plenty of other things though, things in combination, maybe just a head gasket leaking or a crank seal leaking. You're not giving us a lot of clues lol
