Welcome to the forum! First thing I would do is a compression check. If compression is around 100-110 pounds could be the reason for the dying when it gets hot. Engines with low compression to start with could lose piston ring to cylinder seal when hot and die. Then when cooled down,will restart again. Could be this is the problem. OPT
