my motor will run for about 200 yards then start cutting out and losing power, I can throttle down to idle for about 1 minute
then motor will run fine for another 200 yards and start same thing. is this a fuel filter problem? just had power pack replaced

It does sound like filters, or the fuel pump. Replace the filters (all of them) and put a diaphragm kit through the pump... That should fix it. Remember to use the proper fuel line cable ties for the fuel lines when you do the pump...
