That does make sense. I was thinking more of smaller engines
I've serviced. Bad quality motor oil will cause problems.
Also, an ignition coil going bad. But, the crud in the fuel
tank makes sense.

Wonder if you can take the tank off. Leave about half full.
Plug the fuel outlet wtih a finger, shake the fuel around to
suspend any particles. Pour the fuel into a coffee filter
and strainer over a can of some kind. Strain all the
particles out. Put the now-clean fuel back in.

Ditto - same problem & same fix. There was a screen filter
at the end
of the fuel pickup tube in the fuel tank. Varnish sediment
would be
picked up to the screen stopping the fuel flow. When the
engine died
the sediment would settle back into the tank. Then recycle.
