Hello... (serial # OG 249361, shift and gas in handle) Bought this 2 yrs ago...worked fine until it conked out today ... just quit at about just under full throttle. It would start again and idle for a minute or 2 then stop. If you gave it gas while idling it would quit. Just wondering how to test fuel pump or any other suggestions. I have cleaned gas lines and checked fuel filter... all fine. Tank is ok good pressure and keeps fuel filter container full. Seems to be starved for gas. Plugs look fine with no crud on them. Thank you in advance...

Sounds like the carb and fuel pump needs a clean out and re-setting up... That's where I'd start...
