While is certainly may be possible that something is wrong in the fuel supply system, how long has it been since the IP has been rebuilt?
Starting and running and then dying suddenly is how engines with the Standyne rotary IP act when the governor damper ring disintegrates into coffee grounds-like particles and then clogs the IP's output fitting/housing pressure regulating valve.
This is a COMMON occurrence unless the pump has been rebuilt within a reasonable length of time or was previously updated.
If you can do this safely, remove one of the timing access covers held to the IP with 2 flathead screws, and look for coffee grounds-like debris in the fuel.
Start it with the cover loose, and return fuel dribbling out and see if it keeps running.
The loose cover/dribbling fuel keeps housing pressure down, which (if the fitting/valve is clogged) will build up 'til the pumping plungers can't move outward to take on a new charge of fuel to inject, and the engine then dies.
