Have you had any luck diagnosing what is missing when it dies?  Fuel, spark 
or air.  Since heat is an indicator it could be cooked fuel causing vapor lock, 
an electrical part that is dying with the heat, a bad fuel pump, leaky 
perimeter seal allowing hot air into the top of the engine,  bad carbs (though not 
usually both at the same time)....but it still gets down to fuel, spark or 
(unlikely but possible) too little air.
