| bad coil, or more likely, gas is very slowly feeding the carb. Pinched line, gas tank not vented, or clogged fuel filter. | |

| Does it have an Anti Backfire Solenoid? My tractor was doing something similar because of the ABS. | |

| HAHA. Take gas cap off and run it, then see how long it will run. That would do it.  | |

| Yep, gas tanks need to be vented. I've had a couple get plugged. | |
