Tractor Runs For 20 Minutes And Sputters

Howdy - hopefully this is the proper place for this -

I have a 17HP Yard Machine with B/S engine. It ran great last week for hours then started to sputter. I noticed the foam sleeve around the air filter was very dirty, so took it off and it started right back up again, so I changed the air filter. All was well until today - it ran well for about 30 minutes and then started to sputter. Limped it back to the garage, and took off the air filter and let it idle - it got a little better, but not great. If I play with the choke with the air filter off, it will keep on running but just barely. It seems maybe it can't get enough air?

Thanks for any help!
