Having experienced the same symptoms I would have bet it was a clogged gas cap vent, that's what it turned out to be in my case, BUT, I know a guy who had a similar problem and it turned out to be a mouse nest in his muffler, it would run until the muffler developed enough back pressure to kill the engine and after it sat a while it would start right up again and repeat the process , go figure.
