OK, so the engine doesn’t actually stall out due to lack of fuel. Did you pump the primer bulb at WOT? If so, did it help?
I’m assuming the engine is running on two cylinders. Did you check the linkage? Perhaps the linkage/tiller handle is meeded up and the mag plate isn’t advancing all the way. Perhaps the linkage is messed up and the carb isn’t opening all the way…

The engine did finally die out on me when I was trying to run
it wide open, but I was using the choke at that point instead
of squeezing the bulb. When it died, I thought I may have
choked it out too much. At that point, I decided I need
to tear into it to check a few things. Hard to see much on the
carb what’s going on with the air box in the way, so I need
to dig into it, check linkage’s travel, fuel filters, etc.
Perhaps the old fuel pump is toast.
Thanks.Prepare to be boarded!

Thanks.I would try again using the primer bulb to see if it keeps running….

into the test barrel.Prepare to be boarded!
