Motor runs like nothing is wrong when u first start out for about 10 min then it starts to bog to an idle. Idles fine but will not take the gas. Acts like it has a cylinder misfiring. Cut it off, crank it back and motor run s like new again. This time runs for maybe 2 min then wham same thing. Cut it off crank back runs like new for maybe 1 minute wham. It continues to do this every minute or so. Could it b a faulty power pack. I thought fuel restriction but don't understand why it runs so good for so long until it seems to heat up then the problem is very regular. Not sure why cutting the engine for just a second or two then crank right back up time u hit the starter and runs like new again for a short period of time.

Is your fuel system venting properly?....Try opening the vent screw or slightly crack open your fuel tank cap....

test the alarm system to make sure it functions properly.
You may have something causing RPM reduction but are not getting an alarm

I have checked the tank vent. No change. I will check the alarm system. I thought it could b that so we checked oil level, it was ok. I'll check again. Thanks
