Next time it bogs down, open the fuel cap. Sounds like you might have a clogged fuel tank vent. As you burn fuel out of the tank, a vacuum will form and eventually you'll have trouble feeding fuel to the engine. Opening the cap will get rid of the vacuum. If it runs OK for another 15 mins or so after you've had the cap opened, then you should start looking for the clogged vent.
