Low oil.
Check oil level should be to bottom of inspection plug threads or half way up dipstick threads when unit is level, motor level. Add oil if it is low (don't add too much as it will cause damage to unit.)
Try running with oil added if it still shuts off unplug yellow wire to 13mm bolt that enters crank and try running again
If it runs for longer or runs fine you can leave off wire. As it is a safety feature, just check oil frequently to make sure it isn't burning off oil which could lead to engine seizure if unchecked.
If engine runs fine at low speed and dies once under load it might be a clogged main jet. Drain carb bowl and spray where bowl fastening bolt screws in with carb cleaner, caution do not go crazy as the gasket that seals the perimeter of the carb bowl tends to expand on some models ( so use good aim) 're attach.
Start and make sure you're choke isn't on, that also causes start, sounds good then becomes rough idle then shuts off, basically it's a butterfly valve which causes more suction through the main jet. If left shut it floods the engine open up the air filter and you should be able to see the valve and test it's function, if you've taken the carb apart before this could be your issue.
Good luck

You have 1 of 3 possible issues; a dirty carburetor, a clogged fuel line or your ignition module (attached to your plug wire) is going. If you can start the engine back fairly quickly it's probably the fuel. If it takes 10-20 minutes to restart, the ignition module.

SOURCE: hisense air conditioner

-If both compressor and fan motor starts and stop, thermostat is the defect.
- If only the compressor check for your outlet no sign of discoloration, check the voltage if normal, check the defective overload protector of the compressor it its external, or compressor itself is defective

SOURCE: I have a honda g300 7hp engine that has no spark

Does this G300 have an oil alert switch??? If so, make sure it is on and verify engine oil level is full. Other wise, the switch will prevent the coil from sparking. If you find that the switch is faulty, you can by-pass it.

Honda 8hp g300 FR 700 rototiller no spark-replaced coil-no spark--Was reading around 5K ohms with old coil, bought new, replaced and condenser reading 19K ohms still no spark

Try checking the plug end cap with an ohm meter for an "open line" reading.
I changed the coil on my no spark Honda G300 and reused the original resistor cap.
However I discovered it was the resistor cap that was at fault.
To fix I used a rubber boot and metal end cap from a car plug wire but new replacement caps are readily available.
Now have a strong spark.

I have a gx610 that runs nicely for about 3 minutes to 5 minutes then it stops FAST. Like very sudden. It wont start or crank again until a few minutes pass then it cranks, and a minute later or so it...

Check for plugged fuel tank vent. Vacuum builds up then fuel stops. Also check if it has a low oil presssure switch that might cut it off (check the oil level). This engine has many variations so finding a specific problem is not easy.

Engine cuts out

I had a similar problem with my Honda XR. Turned out to be the Ignition Control module. The unit is probably sealed and unable to inspect. I figured it out by hitting it while the motor was running and it would cut out.
