Not sure what you have for power . . so these thoughts are stabs in the dark

When it shuts down like this, almost instantly you need to remove a spark plug, are they wet or dry?

fuel contamination . . dirt in needle and seat resulting in a flooded carb/engine

Intermittent electrical wiring, something chaffed or shorting cutting out power

electrical wiring on engine . .inspect every bit of it.

Fuel tank vent Fitting Glogged????= spider web etc. or pinched vent hose. Creating a vacuum and no fuel flow out of the tank.
Symptoms are = when you are fueling up does the fuel back up and splash with an air bubble and takes longer to fill?
