Thought I would give it a try this morning while it was still cool.
After 1:30 minutes running under load I came in to getting something to eat. When I went back out in about 20 minutes it was still running but started surging and then quit. Started it again and it ran for about 20 minutes then quit.
The spark arrester should be an easy one to check so I will do that first.
CJBill, your description with the fuel pump problem sounds like it could be the same problem. I will check the old service manual and see how much work is involved in getting to it.
Any more ideas keep them coming.
Thanks all for the help.
My memory is faded on doing the spark arrestor, but I remember that you need to mark the position of the screw, or it will be really hard getting it lined up, and the screw back in, when you reinstall it. Maybe Jim remembers better than me.
Oh, and if I remember correctly, changing fuel filter is no walk in the park either.
