The part about it running fine on carb cleaner sounds like its starved for fuel. Sounds like maybe the fuel pump is getting hot and siezing. Have you checked fuel pressure while the engine is running and as it stalls? Theres a check valve in the pump that is supposed to hold working pressure on the line for a certain time after the engine is shut off to prevent the line from draining. ( I think its like 15 minutes...) If pressure drops to zero, that check valve is bad and the pump may be siezing. This usually happens when the tank is repeatedly run to very empty. The fuel pump depends on the insulating effect of a tank full of fuel to keep it cool. When people run the tank to the bottom every time, over the years the heat takes its toll on the pump and eventually it dies prematurely. I always try not to go below 1/4 tank...
Ok, Im of my
now. Check your pressure and see whats going on...
