An inline spark checker is handy in these cases. Plug it in as soon as it quits to see if you have spark. If you do the problem is likely fuel delivery.

Sounds like the classic clogged vent on the fuel tank cap.      Loosen the tank cap and try it.

go back to @gwest_ca suggestion for the spark check. You might also pull the plug when it quits to see if it is wet or dry to help determine if it is electrical or fuel related.
