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.


How about oil pressure? Most electric fuel pumps shut off when the
oil pressure drops below a certain setting. Maybe the pressure sensor
is bad.
Also maybe a different circuit for starting/warmup than for running.
Maybe the running circuit is faulty.
Maybe the fuel pickup in the tank is plugged.
