Lawn Boy 10324 fuel delivery issue?

Greetings everybody, trying to keep my 2000 10324 in business but am perplexed with this problem. It's got a brand new carburetor, starts and runs beautifully. But after about five minutes the engine suddenly dies. It starts right back up, and then a few minutes later it dies again. Each time it seems to die sooner than the time before, and by the time I give up it's dying every 20-30 seconds it seems. It cuts out fairly quickly, it doesn't sputter and sputter like when you run it out of fuel. Thanks in advance for any advice!

I should add that if I mess with the throttle (usually increasing all the way) the second it starts cutting out, I can keep the engine running for several more seconds, but it still gradually dies.

Try running the unit with the gas cap loose. I’m thinking the cap vent is plugged.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot in the morning. The neighbors are making me look bad!
