Are you running a fuel filter ? I had a similar problem a couple years ago. Would run fine then start coughing and backfiring. I did see some very small debris in the the fuel bulb but I didn't think that would cause it. Normally when she started backfiring I'd shut or down, or she'd stall on her own - I'd tap the carb a couple of times and she'd run fine again.
I installed an inline fuel filter and flushed out the carb and haven't had a problem since.
