Coil is a good easy first step. If that dosen't work, some other problems I have had with gas engines. (not an M, though, maybe someday):

Points and condensor,assuming the M has those.

Might try running it at night, when it dies, see if you are getting a bright steady spark.

Bad switch is a possibility, but it dosen't sound like it.

If you eliminate ignition problems, you will have to start on the carburator. I don't know enough to advise on that, but I would run it untill it has problems, then disconnect the fuel line at carburator to see if you have a strong flow, being careful around a hot engine. Good luck.
