The only thing I can think is the powervalve thing.
make sure the gas tank vent isn't clogged. should be in the gas cap i believe. sounds like it may be blocked, and after a few minutes, it builds a vacuum in the tank, which cuts the fuel flow. after letting it sit for a few, the vacum disipates, and the fuel will flow again.

just something to check before you go having the carb cracked open. i see it happen alot. put a fresh plug in it too.
