Sounds like your valves need adjusted,as they get hot they expand and don't fire correctly.Have you tried running it with the gas cap loose? Sometimes the vent in the gas cap gets plugged and the fuel pump can't pull against the vacuum created in the tank.
Also Sounds like your coil is what is giving you problems. Next time it quits check for spark.
