    I have had motors do that and I remember that I didn’t unscrew the gas tank vent on the filler cap, or I didn’t do it enough. They can also get clogged and won’t vent even if you unscrew them sometimes. It causes a vacuum in the tank and starves the motor for fuel…..Just a thought..
    also, did you check the fuel lines under the cowl cracks, etc.?
