Would start with carb, looking for sticking/leaking float or float valve, check float level adjustment, mixture too rich.

i had a similar problem out of my 4500 and what seem to fix it was rebuild the carb. I got the kit off ebay for less than 40 bucks. When i took the carb apart what i call the plunger was gummed up. I could be using the wrong term of what the part is called but thats what it looked like

at moment of stall, check spark.. if spark is good.. start hunting fuel. don't overlook the pump in front.. strainers.. etc..

The carb was replaced new year ago, i did open it up, cleaned out checked float/valve all working, nothing sticking, on the fuel pump it works when i checked it cold, is it possible that when the pump gets hot it stops working?
