Power washer troubleshooting/help
I don't feel like I'm completely inept here, but I've got an issue with a power washer that I hope I can get some help troubleshooting.
I inherited a NorthStar power washer (cold) with a honda 4 cycle engine (approx age made in 2011) that works well, some of the time. When the engine is cold, it starts right up, runs great, pushes a whole lotta water for about an hour, then stalls. No warning. When I go to start it again it acts like it's fuel deprived- IE gotta choke it and it sputters to start then dies again. (checked, it's got gas.) Let it sit about 5 min and it'll start up, run for a bit, then die again. Normally at this point I'm just  and I give up. Sometimes I can idle it down before I shut it off and typically when that happens when I kill the ignition it stops running and backfires. Possible ideas for it not running; -Stuck float. (but why does it run good for an hour then quit?) -It's getting hot, vapor lock? -I'm not sure what kind of maintenance has been performed on it other than an oil change here and there, gummed up carb/line? Any ideas? Things I should look for? Thanks

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
