Engine suddenly dies after about 10 minutes running, will restart, but then only for a few seconds. Have to something cool down for 30 minutes, then same thing happens. This started almost 4 years ago, and has gotten progressively worse.

welcome aboard

first, what is the temperature of the motor? what does your gauge read? when was the last time you serviced the raw water pump? you may be overheating.

next, what is your fuel pressure? what is your compression?

next, check your fuel vent.

Agree check fuel pressure

First guess is the fuel pump is not pumping

Pull the fuel filter and see if its full of fuel.
If full then pour contents into a clear container and see if there is other things then clear gas
