Been running all good then suddenly without any symptom or some sort, its now in bad form. Positive it's a fuel problem, seems like theres water in the gas line. Tried draining its fuel empty and replaced it with premium gas but nope, nada. Spark seems fine, good fuel supply to carburetor as checked so fuel pump is all good. Lastly, it runs on idle, but quickly dies when loaded. Thoughts?

If your engine runs when it's not loaded but shuts off when you give it gas, it could be a clogged main jet or some water still in the carburetor. Even with new fuel, old moisture or gunk can stick around. Give the carb a good clean and also check the fuel cap vent, if it's blocked, it can cause this issue too.
 
The carburetor might be clogged or the jets partially blocked, preventing enough fuel flow when demand rises, clean the carb thoroughly and check the fuel filter just in case
