After 15 minutes engines bogs down..... Installed a RACOR 10 micron filter, changed plugs. Ezorb gas additive.

Any ideas?

Sounds suspiciously like the tank isn't venting properly.

When the engine starts bogging, start pumping the primer bulb. if it collapses (won't open back up after you squeeze it), it means an obstruction in the tank, or the vent is stopped up or closed.

If on the other hand, RPM's pick back up, that would indicate a weak fuel pump
