Need a little more information, like engine model and serial.

You have not yet determined if you have an electrical/ignition problem or a fuel problem.

My first guess is a restricted fuel tank vent hose, runs long enough to pull a vacuum on the tank then the fuel pump is unable to suck any more fuel. After a while the tank slowly breathes in and you go again for another short time.

Try a small portable outboard tank and see if that cures it. If so then start checking your main tank.
