My 1999 Honda 5 hp I bought recently starts easily (usually one pull choked)and runs great ,that is until I slow the engine speed and drop it into forward to do some slow trolling. It will go along for a few minutes and then it will lose cadence and unless I rev it ,it will stall. Restarts require the throttle be at highest position possible in neutral or I need to pump the fuel line ball. Checked the fuel filter and it looks clean, please advise.Thanks.
