thank you so much for your time reading this,

If it were a car I would start wondering about fuel pump. Or vent on the
gas tank. If the bowl on the carb is dry when it dies then no gas
getting to motor. problem is fuel pump, gas line, tank etc.

I agree based on the symptoms.

The fuel pump is easy enough to check as is the gas line although if
it's getting enough gas to start it would seem that might not be it.
I'd try the vent first, then work my way back to the fuel pump.

I would look at the throttle bore when it stops and see if you get any
squirts of fuel from the throttle pump. If not, gas problem. Since you
changed the pump and hopefully the filter, I would look more at pulling the
tank pickup and seeing of the screen is plugged.
