Since it runs then dies, the spark and carburetor are OK - at least for a while. Check the charging system. The electric fuel pump might not run (enough) if the voltage drops too much. Starves out for fuel. Once line gets empty may not prime on it's own.
If the voltage regulator got hurt jumping it, that might be one place to look. Polarity, etc. the relay coils can get too hot and cause issues. It's thin wire. May not charge (voltage reg), the battery goes down, and stalls out.
Electrical doesn't like heat, so check if anything else is getting hot after it runs a bit, like a wire (corrosion) or other electrical part.
