Mine did the same thing. You know it is not the carb, it is getting fuel. You can remove and ground out a plug once it does not start to see if it does have spark. I am also pretty sure it is the fuel pump. Easy to replace.

Sure sounds like fuel pump to me. I have the same gen, same year and that's what mine did.
Fuel pump gets hot and shuts down, cools off and it will run again, then shut off again when it heats up.
Simple test - when it shuts down, hit the prime button and listen for the pump. If it's not running, that's your problem.
