Check compression! If it's a 4 stroke check valve clearance also,valve clearance could be tightening up as it gets warm causing the problem or if it's a two stroke,excessive piston to cylinder clearance could be causing the rings to loose their seal against the cylinder wall when it gets hot,then when cools back down will run again for awhile..
