This certainly sounds like a vaccuum lock, and gtrippleb's experience supports that theory. I've seen crud in the lines, clogged filter, clogged breather, or collapsed rubber fuel line all cause a similar situation.

There was crud in my fuel filter and since I unplugged the line from the tank and replaced the fuel filter, I haven't had any problems. My wife spent a few hours chipping limbs this past weekend and raking up leaves with the dethatcher I had my father in-law build for me. We've put 12 hours on the tractor since I changed the fuel filter and unplugged the fuel tank with no issues. So I would say my issue has been resolved.
