Need help Koehler 25hp ech740

Runs fine for 4-5 minutes then splitters and blows smoke out of exhaust, put it in low idle and will recover, put back in high idle will run for a few minutes then start sputtering again

That is restricted or insufficient fuel flow. Anything from the tank to the carburetor. Includes lines, fuel pump, if it has one or filter.

Black smoke or grey/blue? If black, it's flooding, not starving.

Could be a choke closing, float needle sticking open, or clogged carburetor vent. Possibly fuel in the crankcase too, check to see if the oil is thin and smells like gas.
