It seems the filler cap vent solution was a red herring.
I am convinced it is something to do with the vacuum control on the throttle rather than fuel delivery....
Anyone got any thoughts on this?

In case it helps other users in the future ....
Same problem here. Dies after a minute or so. Always restarts but then dies.
In my case I stripped it all down and eventually bought a new (expensive) ignition module which made no difference!!
Finally I bought a new spark plug giving an instant cure. It must have been breaking down electrically when hot.
