I don't know what's wrong
I have a 93 softail and it will start every time and idle perfectly but after about 10 minutes of riding it starts cutting out and dieing and won't stay running... When it does this it will idle but when I put it in gear it just cuts out instantly and dies help please someone told me I may need a stator or a VOES

93 softail...
Does it do this with the gas cap off? Trying to rule-out the inability of tank to vent (wrong gas cap).
Consider review of gas tank for trash.
Look into gas tank with small powerfull L.E.D flashlight. Slosh fuel by tilt bike left /right while seated on bike.
A very small amount of trash or rust could inhibit fuel flow.
Consider syphoning all fuel into a clean container...filter with a paper coffee filter....any junk?
A digital voltage meter (free with coupon from harbor freight) can be used to review voltage if that is a concern. On a carb bike, if it starts and lights function bright then it would be doubtful that it was a charging problem (stator).
Why did some think it was the VOES ?
From the limited information available, i believe it is fuel starved.
thought it was an elect pump ,, sorry ,, but still sounds like a fuel problem to me
