From a fuel side issue, it would likely be the vent. Once it stalls, crack the fuel tank open,close it back up and try running. Or just take the vent off and clean it.
If you suspect the shut off (unlikely), but to be sure, disconnect the wires at the coil. Keep in mind you'll have to choke the saw to shut it off. Take it out and run it.
If it's running for more than 5 seconds, will throttle up, idle, doubtful its an impulse hose.
I'd start with the first two listed above. Then get a spark tester ($6 at HF) and go run the saw. When the saw stalls out, add in the tester and check for spark. If those do not solve the issue, then we'll move forward.
