Might be a long shot for you but I once had a new lawnmower that ran 
like that.  I took it back to the store and they couldn't figure it 
out.  The mechanic cranked it up, set it out back and let it run.  15 
minutes later he noticed that it stopped.  He checked and there was a 
vacuum in the fuel tank.  He discovered that the gas cap had no vent.
