If your oil is too low or even a little bit low or if your machine is sitting on an incline, it will start and run until the oil is dispersed within the motor. Spreading the little amount of oil that is in there all around the inside of the motor would then reduce the amount of oil that is "sensed" by the "low-oil safety shutoff" switch, which would then shut down the engine. Its possible that your "low-oil sensor switch" is bad. You can test it by unplugging it. Just look for a wire that runs from your ignition switch or ignition coil to a sensor mounted on the engine block somewhere. Usually, it just unplugs right at the sensor. Simply unplug it and crank the engine and if it keeps running, then you know you have a bad switch (if you've topped off the oil, of course!).

Cutting out

Almost sounds like a vacuum lock ("it feels like it running out of fuel"), like the gas tank isn't venting.
Air has to be allowed into the gas tank to replace the fuel leaving it.

Next time it dies, open/take off gas cap and see if it fires up right away, instead of having to wait 10 minutes.

If that works, start looking at the vent lines and see if it's plugged, or a one-way valve isn't working, or the line is pinched.

After I drive my jeep some, if it is somewhat warm or not cold weather, my jeep has a hard time starting. It may crank but run a little ways and cut off going down the road.I have had the coil, plugs, plug...

if it shuts off after running for a while and will not restart for about 10 min,a bad crank sensor will cause this. abad crank sensor will make car shut off and not restart for about 10 min. put a scanner on to make sure. a check engine light does not allways come on. if you do not have a scanner, any auto parts store will scan it for free.

Runs about 10 minutes 7 cuts off. can't restart

Plan your beer breaks every 10 minutes and enjoy the time off. Also check your fuel mix, the engine is running hot, replace fuel mixture with proper oil mix.

Drum is running but only lasts about 5 min's then

yup, the thermal switch on the motor is tripping because of an overheated motor. This is the problem if you can't turn it back on right away and have to wait 10 minutes or so.
