Carl,
It does not “die”, we turn it off and it won’t start again unless we squirt fuel into the carb, then it runs normal again until we turn it off again. We have spark, fuel filter is full, fuel pump works fine after it starts. I never took off the carb. It needs to be replaced due to linkage issues. My money is still on the carb. I’m rebuilding one this week to see. Figured I would check it at that time.
