1750 gas stopped running

[Mark in Minn.]

I have a 1750 gas that simply stopped running . It acts like it is running out of gas. It starts and runs fine for about 30
seconds and the stops. I let it sit a few minutes and it does the same thing. Carb was just redone a few hours ago,. Could it be
the fuel pump? Gas runs out the sediment bowl when I take it off. Where should I look next?

Eliminate fuel supply issues by hooking up a small gravity feed tank directly to the carb. You could have fuel tank venting issues, debris in tank/bowl/line, pump issues, who knows, but eliminating those will quickly get you headed in the right direction.

I had that happen to me a couple of times a week coil will do the same thing

You could clamp another spark plug to it with a pair of vise grips so it's grounded good, then as soon as it quits, pull a plug wire, plug it on to that and see if you have spark when you try to re start it.

If pulling the choke as it stumbles helps it run better it sounds like a fuel problem. Watch the exhaust, black smoke = plenty of fuel. Play with the choke before it fails to see how it normally reacts. Ignition failure and lack of fuel tend to look very similar.

I have a little 2000 ford tractor and it was acting like it was running out of fuel but it wasnt. I tried a new coil and that didnt help either. I replaced the condensor and all was well. Yours could be running out of fuel. Like others have said try the choke when it tries to die. If choke helps it, it probably is running out of fuel. I had a car one time that would run a little while and quit. It turned out to be the rotor in the distributor had burned a hole through it and spark was going to the steel shaft but it would run fine when first started. It had electronic ignition though.
