Does the choke open after a couple of minutes? If it doesn't open til later and that causes the stall the carb may have been misadjusted to comenpsate for the incorrect choke operation...but that's a stretch believe me.
Ok today when it died I Shot some starting fluid in the carb and kept it going although it was rough and did eventually backfire and die, idiled it back and I'm thinkin something in the carb? Any ideas?
I did, and I agree running out of fuel somewhere along the line after 1-2 hours of running just fine. Not sure where to go next but rebuilding the carb tomorrow. Gotta be fuel related.
Fuel issue has been mentioned several times and you always say everything is great and working properly. There is nothing wrong with anything because everything has been replaced and checked.
Since it's been such a bear you would probably also be smart to clean out the fuel tank, and anti siphon valve. And possibly change the fuel line if it's not buried in body work.
I know you inspected them, but one little piece of junk...
The fuel line is buried in bodywork but I managed to pull it all the way out and it was spongy in a couple of places. I'm going to run some new fuel line and see if that does the trick.
