Just found an '88 TII for a good price.

It will start up, but shuts off after about 15 - 20 seconds. Wait awhile, and it'll do it all over again.

What is it?

Not getting fuel? Or spark. One of the two I would assume. Time for a tune up!

Mine ran for a few seconds and died. It seemed to run right but just died after a few seconds... turns out it was a vacuum leak. It didn't run for 15-20 seconds though.
