Fires up for a minute then stall's? it's getting gas,thought the valves might be a little tight so I went through push rod adjustment again! Still doing the same thing! any suggestions would be appreciated!

too much gas? Like float too high?

Any breakers tripping?

Need more info:
When it stalls what symptoms does it exhibit: coughing, sputtering, misfiring, black smoke from the exhaust?

After it stops can you still get spark at the plugs?

If you shut off the fuel valve does it stop in a similar way?

Is there full flow of fuel to the carb or is it restricted by a clogged filter or non vented gas cap?
