Brad (OP) if you have not already verified this, then next time it occurs, before you try to restart it, pull the air cleaner and open the throttle a bit. If you get a good squirt into the carb you know it is not a fuel issue but rather an electrical problem. Given that it runs well when it is running, and starts right back up after the problem does occur, it sounds like a primary side electrical issue and not plugs / plug wires. I think the most likely culprits are your ignition switch and/or connections, loose connection at the coil or MSD box, or grounding of the MSD box. As suggested above you might try wiggling these connections with it running. Start with the easy stuff first. Good luck!
