Bill, a common problem. Run for 5 minutes and quit. Then the carb fills up and it restarts again. Main test is to remove the fuel line from carb, run it through a hose into a gas can or bucket for 10 minutes or 5 minutes longer than what it runs. Need a good steady flow. Even with new sediment bowl, you still get chunks of rust in the tank that settles around the bowl intake and blocks the flow and you may not see much in the bowl. Basic fix would be to put a 1 to 2 inch piece of screen or plastic/rubber hose on the bowl intake nubbing sticking up into the tank. It also keeps the water on the bottom of the tank from getting in.
Otherwise I'd be for changing the condenser and coil. The coils can be weak or a winding go bad and not get hot after long running.
Post back with your results and let us know. I'm leaning towards a rust problem first. If you have even just a few rust fines in the bowl, you can count on some big chunks in the tank.
