3.5 years old. Has always run good. Recently it started dying after running for a period of time - fully warmed up. Only does this if throttle is wide open. When it starts to die, it's not smoking of missing out. It just sort of drops of like it experiencing an out of gas condition. As it's starting to die, I can release the trigger and the engine recovers. Blower will then idle just fine.
Hit the throttle again - run it wide open and a bit later it starts to die off again. Release throttle trigger and it recovers and will once again idle.
I pulled fuel line from gas tank to carb and blew it out - no restriction. Inside of tank looks like it did the day I bought it. Fuel filter is the stone type looks clean. Spark plug clean and gapped at .025 as per owners manual. Air filter clean. Engine oil full and clean.
Thoughts appreciated.
