I would check the valve clearances first.

Also in the case of such a condition with an air cooled engine, there's always the possibility of piston/cylinder siezure. When it dies is the engine easy to turn? If it is not easy to turn when warmed up, you might have a siezure issue.

You say there is fuel so it can't be fuel starvation, could be the valves has already posted, it is very hot in that 8-10 minutes..? if so then check for good spark the next time it die's out.

You didn't post the engine numbers so you can check yourself with the chart.

I'm afraid I am not quite sure what could be happening, I do hope you get it sorted.

As soon as it shuts off pull out the spark plug and check for spark

C'mon...find another forum for your Troll-like comments(aka get a life).

It really works. Put the coil in the oven and cook it for a couple hours.
