Rick if you are sure it is fuel related issue, does sound like it may be running out of fuel. Check the fuel filter in the gas tank and replace, also check the fuel tank cap as the vent in it may be plugged,which will cause this issue.
A similar issue to this, is when the muffler screen gets plugged with carbon on some models. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck
