I bought a brand new Seahorse 3.5 hp motor 2 weeks ago. It will start right up, but after about 5mins it shuts off. Then it wont start back up until it seems to have cooled down a bit. Any one have any ideas what this could be?

Here is the problem with that motor it needs to be set-up when you get it. That is a Hangkai, Seahorse what ever they want to call it's a cheaper chinese motor. Is it pumping water and you may need to adjust the carb. Read your owners manual it should help you. When you buy a motor from a dealer they do the set-up since yours is delivered you will have to do it. Are you mixing gas and oil.
