1 owner, 350 hrs, changed all filters and oil 100 hrs ago. With the last few uses, the engine seems to lose power and almost shut off or it has. After waiting a minute, it fires back up. Today, i was moving dirt and when i filled the bucket and lifted up, it shut off. When i went to start it, it fired up but then died immediately. I pumped the bulb til firm and it then started but died after driving it 20 yds. Pumped bulb and it started again which allows me to put it away. Any thoughts?

Sounds like a fule supply issue, either there is a blockage or a crack in the fuel pickup tube.
Does the primer bulb ge sucked flat at all?
A good way to work out for sure is to get a jug of fuel and run a temp fuel line from the fuel to the filter so you isolate the fuel tank from the circuit. See if that fixes the problem, if so, it is something to do with the line from the tank.

How much fuel is in the tank? You could have something floating in the tank blocking the pick up tube. Might be worth changing the fuel filter
