Yes, I was going to say the same thing. Also, when the engine dies why are you pushing in the clutch/etc to hit the starter button? Why not release the clutch again and let momentun restart the engine? If the engine doesn't immediately start again with the clutch engaged, start adjusting different things (ignition switch, choke, spark lever, etc.) to see what makes the difference.
