Some of the times, I've been able to immediately restart with full choke for about 15 seconds. Other times it just won't restart, it keeps cranking like it's not getting fuel.
I've checked the hole in the gas cap, checked the flow to the fuel filter, changed the fuel filter, added scan of seafoam.
I'm seeing seepage when I remove the air filter, but I think that's alway been there.
Does this sound like a fuel pump, or the carb, or???
Has anyone else run into this?
I did fill it up with a higher octane than usual could this contribute?

My 1440 is doing exactly the same thing but my stalling issue does not have a time table attached to it like yours, mine
only stalls when I stop hard in forward or reverse, and, as you stated, sometimes I can recover it with a choke pull but sometimes not. Then the engine may or may not start on the next try, my 1440 starts when it wants to.!!!! Any suggestions? I have blown out the fuel lines with the line at the fuel pump disconnected and put inside of a coffee filter with a hose clamp on it so I could see if any trash was in the line. New fuel pump, cleaned carb, changed fuel filter... nothing seems to be working
dvogtvpe, you mention
"the anti back fire valve on the carb" where is that located?
