Inside the fuel shut off switch is a rubber grommet. It has 4 holes in it. It's getting twisted and bunched up and it's cutting off your fuel supply.
you need to take the grommet out, bore our the 4 holes and put the grommet and shut off switch back on the carb.
Be careful when taking out the grommet, you have to remember where all the parts go.

It could also be the gas cap. Some of the stock gas caps do not seem to vent properly. To test this, open the cap a slight amount and be careful when riding as to not spill gas. If this is the case, you can either get a trick looking billet aluminum gas cap (http://www.adaracing.com/viewitem.php?id=pbgc47&maincat=pocketbike) from ADA Racing or try drilling the small hole in the stock gas cap a little larger. Again, if this is the problem, do not ride around with your gas cap not tightened, you could start yourself on fire!
