C died and won't start

I knew the day would eventually come. My C (123ci engine) has started right up for me every single time since I got her almost 2 yrs ago. Yesterday I went to start her - started right up, ran about 3 or four minutes and died like somebody shut off the key.
I pulled the gas line off the card and fuel is coming through fine. I did notice some gas leaking around the choke lever on the side of the card but I figured maybe I had flooded it. I let it sit with the battery charger on it for a couple hours and tried to start it again. No luck.
I pulled the dist cap off and it looks like new.
Not sure where to go from here - points look OK.
Is there something that typically causes a tractor to just die? I'm thinking electrical but what do I check?
I figured this would be the first place I'd ever come to if I had a problem...and it is
