It runs for 5 minutes at idle and shuts off and won't start back up unless you wait for about a half hour. I put new control cables on and am wondering if something is just slightly off. I put a new fuel filter,fuel line and bulb, sea foam in tank,,checked vent on tank, switched tanks and same result. It doesn't rev as high as before if I pull the idle lever up on the control box. Thinking I need to take off carb and inspect and clean jets. Any help would be appreciated.

I ended up taking the fuel pump off and inspecting it and also cleaned the carb with Seafoam spray and blew passages out with air put it back together and it's running great.
