Could be the ignition module or maybe rust in carb. bowl if rust is present replace the bowl and clean the carb paying close attention to the jet in fuel pick up tube

Next time it quits check for spark immediately. No spark replace th coil.

Replying much after the post, however thought I would add my own experience. If you have a gravity feed fuel tank, but the fuel filter is for a fuel pump equipped machine, you can get fuel starvation. After I had a tune up, my LX426 would run maybe 30 to 40 minutes and quit. I discovered there was little to no fuel in the filter, but it would refill itself after 20 minutes and I could cut again until it ran dry. Swapped out the B&S filter for a universal and now it runs continuously.
