Motor starts fine and runs fine for about 5-10 minutes before losing power. At that time if you let it run at idle speed for approx. 10 minutes it will run fine after that. If you stop and the motor cools down, then you have to go thru the same procedure again. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forums James....<br /><br />Are you sure the engine isn's overheating. Don't take long for that to happen. You can check by putting a your finger tips on the flat are just forward at the top of the head. If you can leave your fingers there for several seconds your OK. But if you have to jerk them off, the engine is overheating.<br /><br />If the engine is overheating, you may want to check the alarm circuit if your not getting a steady tone for overheat.<br /><br />Keep us posted.
