An update:
Even with the new fuel pump, filter, fresh oil and filter, it died after 20 minutes on our last trip. Refused to restart. The fuel pump is on the opposite end from the exhaust, and was cool to the touch. Fuel tank was about 90% full. I drained the bowl into a small cup, and there was 1 oz of fuel, which indicates a full bowl. This failure is not a fuel delivery issue.
We had a number of trips planned in the near future, and Summer is on the way here in FL. I replaced the carburetor, and now it starts and runs like new. The job is pretty straight forward.
I posted a video here if you'd like to see what's involved before deciding if this is a DIY for you: https://youtu.be/DUEthYuKGMk
The replacement carb is about $300 on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HTRdNM
Sounds expensive, but it does include all the external parts already installed (choke, vacuum solenoid, fuel solenoid, etc.). Really is a plug-n-play swap.
