sounds like a heat soak problem, check all your grounds. and maybe your starter is on its way out.

I doubt it's your dizzy because you don't need spark to crank it, Even if your main relay was bad it would still crank just would'nt start. It definetly sounds like a bad connection somewhere.
Are the battery terminals corroded? Loose? Is the air filter clogged/old?
Does the starter motor even make a sound when the key is turned on? could be dying, or bad connection.
