The two most common problems that would cause this would be:

1) The carburetor has gotten dirty, gummed up of something stuck inside that is causing it to starve for gas.

2) The coil/magneto is breaking down and losing spark.

To figure out which of these things it is you will need to find out if it is not getting gas or not getting spark when it dies.

Another possible problem is that the fuel solenoid may have gone out. There is an easy way to check for this problem. The fuel solenoid is located at the bottom of the carb bowl. Turn the key to "on" and listen for a single "click" coming from the carb area. If you do not hear a click, your fuel solenoid needs to be replaced. Price is about $50 from Sears.

Yes, but I do not recommend Fram filters as they are inferior in quality. Purchased a Purolator filter that will replace your Briggs filter. Any auto parts store that sells Purolator filters can cross-reference your Briggs filter.
