If it sits and idles nice, and runs great and then just dies but starts back up again, it sounds to me like a fuel delivery problem or an Ignition problem. Especially if its Mag fired. If its a Mag, and you have a remote kill switch up at the drivers seat, disconnect that wire running from the Mag and see if it stops shutting off. If it does, there's your problem. Bad Mag kill switch.
To check for a fuel delivery issue, disconnect the fuel line at the elbow of the Carburetor and put a clean jar under the line and let it run for a minute or two. If there's good uninterrupted flow coming from the tank, that would rule out delivery from the tank to the Carb. Look in the bottom of the jar for debris and dirt. Tank might need a cleaning. Still doesn't mean that maybe the inlet cavity of the Carb has debris in it, but if there isn't any fuel overflow from stuck floats, I'd move on to checking out the ignition..
