Default runs 5 mins, then dies

On my 2000 mangum 325 it starts fine at first, then it dies in 5 mins after running, then wont start untill atleast a day later, what is wrong? u think its due for a oil change, or what??
thanks

Simon

check to make sure your vent lines arent blocked. also next time it does it take off the fuel cap and see if it starts back up.

I was gonna say the same thing. I had my steering stem bushings replaced once under warranty and the same thing would happen when I got it back. I checked it out myself and here the dumb @sses clamped my vent lines into the steering shaft!!!!!! Some dealers have such morons working there!!!

and when i pull them off they should be simple to clean, just blow threw them, and what would cause this to only start a couple days later?
thanks alot, all of u have been a great help to me
