If you think your ground is bad, how about trying to fix it? Perhaps something is wrong with fuel delivery if you can start it back up in 5-10 minutes. Have you tried to do anything to remedy the problem?

Feel your coil the next time it dies, if it's hot replace it. Driving for a good length of time, then it dies and restarts after a few minutes is a classic sign of a coil going south.
Eventually it will never restart if it's the coil.

Sounds like a rusty gas tank to me- check your fuel filter, is it nasty? Check your carb, is it grody to the max?
