I don't know a lot about that particualr engine, but you might pull a couple plugs right after it dies and see if they are wet with fuel, maybe it's flooding.

I would also make sure it's getting enough fuel-a weak fuel pump may allow it to start but be unable to provide enough pressure for it to run. Fuel filter blocakge could also do that.
