Remove youre spark pluge ang clean the tip for better spark
The B&S Vangaurd engine requires periodic valve lash adjustment (100 hrs by schedule). Overdue valve lash adjustment typically manifests with starter stall (starter engages, rotates engine, hesitates or stalls, and then spins/starts).

Sounds like you may have too much oil in the engine. Check your oil level.
SOURCE: Engine seems to flood out when increasing speed and dies
If it starts lightly smoking black smoke at high RPM it is flooding or getting too much fuel. The float is leaking you may have not set the float height correctly when you put that carb back together. Or the needle and set could be bad.

possibly a commpression test might throw a little more light on the situation ,that will eliminate alot of speculation, and make it easier

Troy, Unless you are using old fuel (it breaks down after 1 week) it sounds like you have a faulty spark plug. Replace this first, drain any old fuel and replace with fresh fuel (premium unleaded). A faulty plug will work one minute but then fail like you have described.
