Yes, but that engine is a bitch to restart and will quit as soon as you go
to idle. OP said that restart was easy and wouldn't quit again. I still
think it was carb ice.

Loose nuts on the studs attaching the carburetor to the engine are NOT
all that uncommon! I have known of several. That will cause the engine
to stop at low power/idle settings!
