Probably fuel/air leak around o-ring on fuel heater in filter canister, Easy replace from inside canister. Just take it off and replace the o ring, 50 cents at Ace hardware.

So are you saying you have to wait 5-10 minutes before it will restart? What happens if you try to start it back up right after it dies?
