Cutting out is due to one of 3 things: ignition not working properly; too lean; too rich mixture. You can't tell which one this is by looking or listening to the engine, you need to do tests. Obvious 1st one would be to check for a spark. Then check static timing. Then you're into checking the fuel system.
