I had as simular problem on a gen set and it was the fuel pump. As the pump heated up from use it would stop working. Also I had the same gen in my 300da and had some problems with it early on with the fuel pump. Replace the fuel pump first. I think it may fix your problems and is not that expensive. You can also check to see if it has pressure when it quits by leaving the run switch on and cracking the fuel line at the carb to see it you have gas there. It won't be much pressure, I think it's like 4psi but should have some flow. Hope this helps.
Kevin I agree with you, but I am not committing to a fuel pump problem because the pump is new. It probably has less than 5 hours on it. Now, I must mention this problem started right after I changed it. As a result, I think I should be looking at it as possible problem, just as you suggest.
