I have an '82 c27 with the universal 11hp. I find when my fuel tank is less that half full I get water or something in the line and the engine quits. I have a fuel strainer installed in the line so it is easy to clear the water and pump up the pressure, but I still have to bleed the air out of the line. If I don't bleed the air I get symptoms similar to yours.
