Very basic troubleshooting. When the engine stops running as soon as possibel just open the drain screw on the float bowl.

If gas runs out of the drain hose on the float bowl then you are getting gas to the carburetor float bowl and don't have a problem with the tank vent, filter in the tank, petcock, float valve,etc.

If gas does not run out of the hose then you are not getting gas to the carburetor float bowl and then you probably have a problem with the items above.

Report back your findings and we will go from there.

You never did answer my question about why you think the engine is running hot.
