Spray propane around the manifold (or starting fluid) while it is running. It will speed up if there is a vacuum leak. Don't go crazy on the amount of propane, it just takes a little out of a hand-held torch which is not lit. I don't think it is a vacuum leak or you'd have trouble when not hot and not under load.

How much have you drained out of the tank through the fuel line, best through the carburetor?

If it is not at least a gallon you have not let it drain long enough.

Sometimes vibration while it is running will let the fuel obstruction bounce over the hole in the tank, if that is what it is.

You can replace the carburetor drain with a hose barb. Put a clear hose on the barb and elevate it above the carburetor. This will show you the fuel level in the carburetor. Start the engine and see if the fuel level drops when it dies. If it does, you have a fuel restriction.
