This just started happening recently?
You could be boiling fuel flooding the engine when I stops. May have to run an insulated spacer to keep the carb cooler.
Also how is the engine grounded to the frame? Is it near the battery ground. A quick check would be to do a voltage drop test. Check voltage across the battery, should be 12-12.5 Volts. Then leave the + lead on the battery and check at the frame end of the cable. Next work you way to the starter. I'd try it cold first then get it good and hot and try. You shouldn't loose more than a .5 volt anywhere.
