Just a guess but I'd say plugged vent in the fuel cap, or crack in the pick up tube. Didyou put a new diaphragm in the carb after you cleaned it? If not that too could be the culprit. Try loosening the fuel cap when it happens again. If that doesn't do it, check you pic up tubes for crack and replace the diaphragm. That should get you going assuming it's a fuel issue.
