Default Question for someone smart

Hey guys! This is an awesome forum. And I'm impressed at all the knowledge. Maybe someone here will have a solution to my problem. I have an 84 DR250. The bike is like new. New engine... everything. However... The bike starts and runs perfectly for about 20 minutes... then dies. If I let it Idle it dies faster. If I'm riding hard, it will last longer. Now it's at a point where it won't even start. The carb has been cleaned and adjusted. The light comes on when kick starting, so I think the magneto is ok. There is lots of compression. Any ideas????
