It sounds like you are/have ruled out fuel starvation, indicating it has
fuel as far as the carburetor (and presumably the cylinders), and you
appear to be describing a sudden 'cut off' as opposed to the less sudden
dieing out do to temporary lack of fuel. Yes?

If so, it seems like it would need to be a fault in the ignition system
that allows spark, then changes state to deny spark, then returns to the
prior or similar state where spark gets called for, produced and delivered.
