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. Mark E.
