pull, inspect, clean and/or replace filter sock on bottom of the tank.

Next time it does that on you, let it die and take off the top of the carb to see if it is full or not. If full you are getting fuel from tank to pump to carb.
If you are getting fuel, then it is time to clean to carb and best to clean it twice.

| Are you sure you're not getting carburetor ice? They'll act like that. Run bad, shut off, and about time you get off the road, start back up and run fine. Just a thought. |

Sounds like dirty carb or manifold ice. If you can keep it running by giving it gas, then fuel is probably getting to the carb ok. But yes, also check the condenser and the rest of the ignition system. The last post with a similar problem had a frayed wire coming off the condenser.

Another vote for dirty carb here.
