B & S E1750 newer engine acts as if it is running out of gas. Will run fine then dies off then catches and runs happens every 30 seconds or so.
I have put new gas in it, replaced the fuel filter, and put on a new carburetor.
Any ideas?

Sounds like water in the gas to me. Pull the hose AT the carb inlet. Drain into a glass jar. Look for water in the bottom.

Use E-0 gas if possible.

Put all the stock parts back on. Keep the credit card in your wallet. Fix what you have. OEM parts are better than anything off Scamazon or Fleabay.

Is the fuel tank spotless like a new one? As in zero trash in the bottom and outlet port?

Does this have an after-fire carb solenoid?

It looks a lot like a tank ventilation problem, try opening the cap slightly to see if that changes anything. I've had the same problem before and it was just that it cut off the gas supply.
