GIVE THAT MAN A CIGAR!!!!!
You nailed it. I took the gas cap off, and the vent on the outside looked kind of cruddy. I poked a little piece of wire into the vent, then tried to remove the inside "baffle" to see if I could clean that out, but I couldn't it removed. I'll just buy a new gas cap. Ran it around the yard for 10 or 15 minutes, and it didn't skip a beat.
Feel kind of stupid for not figuring it out myself though!
I figure I'm running on borrowed time with this one, as it's a Courage with 666.8 hours on it. Still runs strong, though. Smokes a little when you first start it, but I think that just a little oil that seeps past the rings, as it's a horizontal cylinder. It definitely doesn't like even the tiniest amount of overfill on the crankcase.
