If it is running normally then shuts off I would be looking at the ignition switch, if it is running on, that is turning the key off and it runs very roughly, knocks and rattles, this is a timing problem and can be related to excessive carbon build up on the piston, of the two what is yours doing?

Check that you have not disturbed any vacuum lines and if fitted the idle compositor is plugged in and working, this is a solenoid with one wire in the carby.
