I believe you may have the belt over one or more of the belt retainers next to the pulleys. They are 5 or 6 inches long and about a 1/4 inch in diameter. You have to loosen them when you put the belt on then adjust them to where they are just barely touching the back of the belt. They keep the belt from jumping off.

The most common cause of this problem is a plugged fuel cap. when the engine runs fine for a short time then quits, it's because a vacuum occurs in the gas tank and the engine starves of fuel. The other less common cause is debris in the carburetor bowl which plugs the main jet starving the engine. When it sits for a period of time, the debris settles back down to the bottom of the bowl and the engine runs again. Ignition problems are almost never as intermittent as this.
