Here's one for the books! Well, I believe I've found the problem. I pulled the tank and here's what I found. The fine mesh screen is attached to the pickup tube with a piece of hose. That hose had split and I found the screen at the bottom of the tank. I also found, believe it or not, a plastic cap (one of those that are used to block the tiny air hole on a plastic fuel can). [Thanks previous owner!] Apparently, everything was fine until the hose split and the screen dropped off. That left the pickup tube exposed and at certain times that plastic cap would drift into the end of it and block the fuel completely. By the way the tank was clean as a whistle, only a little corrosion on the pickup tube. Anyway, I reassembled all and took it out in the pasture and tackled some foot high grass with power to spare. Hope this will help someone in the future and again, thanks much for all your input guys!
