The only electrical things I can think of that would cause these type of symptoms are the coil ( too hot to touch when it dies) or the condenser, shorting out when it gets hot.
It sounds more to me to be fuel related, I would first try a 2 gallon separate "lawn mower" gas tank hooked directly to the carb, that would by pass any sediment bowl, tank, or fuel line issues. Care is to be taken not to spill or drop this temporary set up while it's running.
If that doesn't do it, then it has to be the carb float chamber level is too low, or the needle & seat are getting restricted or plugged somehow. You got me on this one.
I added a 1 in piece of copper tubing and soldered it to the inlet of the new sediment bowl making a stand pipe to keep the loose "stuff" in the tank. Kept it from having trash "cover" the inlet. They make a sediment bowl that has a stand pipe sort of screen already attached, but I haven't used one, as mine has been ok so far.
Have you tried it with the air cleaner hose off ??
