Engine stalling

My engine is stalling and just in time for Canada's long weekend.

It seems to sputter and die and is very hard to restart. It seems to happen when it is both hot or cold. I find it happens under load as it will happily idle for hours.

I have an electric ignition and recently replaced my starter coil.
New spark plugs gaped at 40.
New gas and polishing filters in the spring.

I do not have a fuel pressure gauge, but I can install one tomorrow. Best I can find locally is this one: LINK


Thinking I could also pull and clean my carb. I have the gaskets and the how-to video from MMI. One question... the carb I have does not have the 5th bolt, but the gasket I have does. Picture link.

Any other troubleshooting ideas?

Thanks!
