I am going paint with a broad brush here. It can't be loose wire or connection. They rarely just turn the engine off and are typically intermittent. That would result in gas collecting and a misfire or back fire.
Does it run ok when it is cold or only fail when it is hot? Coils sometimes fail when hot and they just shut down.
Again a broad brush. If it dies at idle and high RPM it shouldn't be a carburetor idle circuit or main circuit, but it could be a sticking float. The part of the carb that assures a gas supply to the secondary parts of carb. Do you have a see through fuel filter? Is it empty when the motor shuts down?

Quit guessing what's wrong and just schedule a time to go visit miles.   He's the best possible person to have look at it and he's right in your back yard.

There is a small filter screen at the needle valve inside the carb. This might be getting clogged or is collapsing. It requires pulling the carb and taking needle valve and floats off to get to it.
Just a guess Mark

Coker (King 145R-10 Tires)

Post by Mark P Hatten »

Yes I called Summit. The  145r-10 Kingstire they have is through Coker and are $ 87. bucks each
The Summit website was wrong. They were going to fix that after my call.

Mark;
You have to ask for a price match because Coker sells them for $65.00 and that is how I beat the price.  And the shipping is free over $99.00.

Coker (King 145R-10 Tires)

Post by Mark P Hatten »

Hi Bill
I just ordered a set of 4 Kingstires   145r 10 Radials from Summit thru Coker, $ 260. for the set, to my door.   Free shipping.
Saved me $ 150. in shipping costs if I'd bought from Coker.
Thank you .
