Clean the Mass Air Flow sensor with MAF cleaner (that is very sensitive to the solvents, make sure you are using real MAF cleaner) If it still stalls, check
fuel filter, replace if it hasn't been replaced
in your maintenance window.
Yes the air
filter, if dirty makes the engine run rich (too much
fuel too little air) which
in turn can foul the plug resulting
in a smaller spark.That causes the combustion process to be incomplete.What all this means is your 7hp engine makes 3hp.
make sure you check spark plugs,
fuel filter, and
fuel pressure, I also know
in a couple of cases oil pressure can mess you up as well.

This re-re-validates my confidence
in the
fuel filter suggestion and the rest of @Zaid's answer.
After posting my question here and since my feeling was that the problem seems to be related to some air bubbles
in the
fuel system, I've decided to take out the
fuel filter, drain all the diesel

Your
fuel filter might not be an inline
filter, it might be
in your gas tank and apart of your
fuel pump.
In order to get the engine to run with the hose off, I had to remove the electrical connector from the MAF (manifold air flow) sensor just past the air
filter; otherwise, the computer saw no airflow and cut off
fuel injection, causing the engine to stall within 5 seconds.

in my comment, it's definitely not the
