What causes a car to start and then die?

Why does my generator run when I spray it with starting fluid?
Could be air filter is blocked enough that while it can start on the air in the carb, not enough air comes through the air filter to keep it running – because assuming this is a small generator, the air flowing through the carb pulls the fuel from the tank using a venturi rather than using a fuel pump, so restricted air flow = restricted gas flow.
