Answer
Hello Tony,
Think about this for a minute...if the fuel filter is dirty enough to make it run bad after a while, would you expect it to get undirty for a while when it first starts?
I don't think you have a fuel filter problem, although I believe it is mounted to the inner edge of the frame, about under the driver.
But you might want to try removing the gas cap when it starts to act like it is running out of gas, to see if maybe a vacuum is being formed inside the tank, starving the engine for fuel.
It is also possible that you have a sensor problem associated with the engine, that isn't used till the engine warms up.
A plugged exhaust system, such as rust flakes stacking up against the inside of a spark arrestor could also explain running good for a while, then bogging down.
