Hey Smitty,
     Have you checked to make sure the gas tank is  properly vented?  If 
air can't get into the tank, the gasoline ain't gonna  get out to the 
engine.<GGG>
     Good luck!

Hello  Smitty,
A couple of things you might have overlooked. First is the fuel  pump. How  
is it? Also since the spark seems OKay, how about removing  the carb tops 
right  after it dies and see how much fuel is in the  bowls. That should 
tell 
you  whether it is a fuel problem. Lastly,  how about the exhaust flow? 
Could 
the  muffler be an obstruction  somehow? Iv'e heard of them shifting 
internals 
and  restricting the  flow. 

OH, you didn't mention it, but does the timing light stay on the  exact 
spot 
on the pulley when it sputters and dies?

Regards,
Bob  Helt
