If you could please help.Thanks,Carlos. Cheked gas cap hole is fine,gas goes in by gravity tank is higher than carb

Answer
Hi Carlos,

Hmmm, you have checked all the things I would have suggested!  
Since the fuel filter is empty, I would think that either the fuel flow is stopping or air is getting in the fuel line.  Investigate upstraem of the filter.  The cap vent may be intermittant or the tank flow may be stopping.

Let me know how you make out.
