I had a similar problem with my 424 two years ago. It would run fine and then surge for a bit and finally die. I thought it had to do with being hot too. My problem was due to worn parts in the carb. It had sat for a while with no gas and the valve assembly rubber tip dried inside and was stuck shut and wouldnt open to let fuel in. I found a Marvel Schebler rebuild kit at my local NAPA store and put the new valve in.

I got it out by disconnecting the fuel line and used a air compressor to blow it out of the hole then grabbed it with a claw. And if you disconnect the line after the bowl and you arnt getting a steady stream you may just need to clean the bowl Check the tank and bowl first then the carb. Check the tank first then the carb.
