bluearo... when an engine dies it has lost fire (sparks) lost the fuel source or has lost a source of oxygen usually somthered by exhaust fumes sucked back in the carbs.
when your engine dies you must determine the cause to find a solution.
easyest when it does die is to just pull a plug, ground it to the engine frame and crank it over with the starter.... you should see strong sparks and if you do..... that means fuel became absent to keep the engine going.
You can have a fuel restriction anywhere from tank (poor venting) bad hose bad filtering dirty carb, air leak preventing sucking new fuel to the carb etc....
If you have NO SPARKS while cranking you have an electrical issue to solve.
Some components can react badly to engine heat and shut down or short out . Sometimes the application of a cooling spray will restore the function (sparks) till the heat builds up againg internally. At least that can help determine was is going on. To cool things fast I use an inverted keyboard spray can from the Dollar store.
hence the repeat question.... DO YOU HAVE SPARKS WHEN IT DIES !!
