416-H starts but only runs for about a minute and a half then acts like it floods out

Has new fuel system,coil,etc. compression runs 119# both sides. Oil pressure runs around 40# when it is running. Any ideas as to what the problem might be? Thanks

When it stalls, is there excess fuel in the carburator throat? Have you verified the float level is correct, the float is not full of gas and the needle valve is in good condition?  You mentioned new fuel system, but not sure what all that entails.

New shutoff valve, fuel lines ,fuel pump, filter. Haven’t checked float level or seat and needle. Will do that. Anyone know the float level measurement?

Lots of possibilities,  but I had a similar experience with my 416H.  

Long story short, I found that the pickup coil located under the flywheel went bad.  It kept acting like it was a fuel issue, when it wasn't. 

 

There is a procedure to test this in the manual.  Search manual section for

a 416H with the Onan is Model #73423.

The procedure should be the same on all P216G motors. All you need is a meter.
