Default i need sugestions whats wrong

i have a 1995kawasaki zx7r and it will start and run for about 10 minutes then start idoling weak and low and then eventually just die. if i try to start it right after that it might start for like 30 sec then do the same thing and eventually it wont start unless u let it sit for a little while. if u let it sit for like 10 minutes it might run for 1 then do the same thing.

Sounds like bad gas. How long since you put fresh in? What kind of weather do you have? Give us more details about the circumstances.

Possibilities: Bad gas, restricted metering of the fuel (ie carb cleaning is needed), wrong float height.

I agree. Could also be a clogged or restricted fuel filter of fuel valve (petcock). If it has a fuel pump, the pump may have gone bad.
