Had a problem with my K20, would run okay under light load that doesn't require much throttle. Going uphill it acted like it was running out of gas, stumble & die. Had to sit several minutes before it would fire. Finally got it home & replaced the fuel pump even though it seemed okay and was fairly new. Still conked out going uphill. The carb rebuild wasn't all that old but I pulled out the paper filter from the carb inlet to check it. It was plugged, could not blow air through it. I put in a new bronze filter and the problem was solved. Good luck with yours, I hope it's something as simple as that little filter. PS -- get the sintered bronze one, not the paper one.
