After a short hiatus, I am back trying to figure this thing out.

 

Starts when cold, no problem.  runs at 2500 to 3000 rpm no problem.

 

Let it go down to 1000 or so and it dies.  Will not restart.

 

Fuel is flowing.

Spark on all 4 cylinders according to my spark testing tool

Starter fluid accomplishes nothing

No signs of flooding - no gas smell, plugs are neither oily nor gassy, no
gas pouring into carb

 

This has the water choke.  Could that be the problem?
