Anyone know what could be causing this ? Engine will crank and runs
well at low rpms but sputters at high rpms and cuts off under a load .
New fuel pump , plugs and air filter . Thanks !

Sounds lean, get into the carb look for clogged jets or low fuel level.

sounds like a stuck or sunk float in the carb... putting too much fuel
in the float bowl. it might need to be cleaned

a leaking intake valve will do this also.
