My 2008 4 stroke 8hp Nissan outboard runs fine for a while then starts choking for lack of fuel at high speeds. I've changed the fuel pump, filter and tried it with two different fuel tanks and hoses. Same result. Why would she start choking after warming up...still runs fine at lower speeds.

You really should start a new thread; this one is more than 4 years old, and is about a completely different kind of motor.

What makes you think you are starving for fuel (choking would be too much fuel, BTW)? If you are running out of gas at the carb, and squeeze the primer, that should restore normal fuel level in the carb and run better.
Check your oil level. If over full, you are getting too much crankcase pressure.
Check the plug condition. That will tell you a lot.

Plandeck - Took the liberty of starting a new topic for you. Piggy backing onto old topics doesn't get you much help, especially when the old topic is for a different motor.
