Does it have the low oil shutoff. Bolts into the lower crankcase, and if the oil level is too low can cause a no start or short start situation.

When it starts to die, does it sputter around first, or acts like you shut it off. If it acts like you shut it off, could be ignition related.

Starting to sound like you may be loosing fire to the spark plug. do you have a way to check the spark while the engine is running, to determine if you are loosing fire when it starts to die. Try changing plugs and see what happens.
