When was the last time that the carburetor was stripped and cleaned? Also have you checked the fuel filter? Finally, the problem seems to come and go as the engine is run (and it gets hot) check that the fuel line and any electrical cables are well away from the hot engine as far as is possible.

If it runs at all, then it is not the spark, so it must be fuel. Flush the tank and put in new clean fuel. If it still does not run right, then you probably need to rebuild the carbureator.

ignition system seems to be ok, check fuel system like fuel pump filter and injectors or carb, make sure fuel pump is working properly.

First question is - is the check engine light on ?
If yes you should check it for codes next.
You may have to use a scanner to watch the O2 sensor to figure out if it is too lean or too rich. I would also check fuel pressure at the rail with a gauge to make sure pressure is normal. Could be a faulty fuel pressure regulator among other things.

Sounds like you need a tune up with new air and fuel filter.

its a sensor problem you have.have them checked

Check the fuel filter. My company designed hybrid generators that are far more efficient. They use batteries to power your equipment, and the generator runs intermittantly to recharge the batteries when needed.

If you would like to convert to hybrid, contact me at [email protected]

i would repace the tank and sending unit

more than likely its bad sparkplug cables, same problem on f-150 they are probably shorting out somewhere in them
