FORCE 125 STRANGE PROBLEM

[pwilson]

MY 88 FORCE 125 STARTS AND RUNS PERFECT. IT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND SERVICED REGULARY.THE LAST 3 TIMES I RAN THE ENGINE IT HAS DIED OUT OF THE BLUE AT W.O.T. AND BEEN EITHER HARD TO START AGAIN OR IT WILL START, BUT THEN IT RUNS ROUGH FOR A LITTLE WHILE.ENVENTUALLY IT RUNS PERFECT AGAIN.A FRIEND OF MINE SAID I MUST HAVE AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION GETTING HOT, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISTANT WITH ANY CERTAIN THING. I RECALL IT DOING THE SAME THING LAST YEAR A FEW TIMES. IT SEEMS TO FIX ITSELF AND ALWAYS RUN GOOD COLD.ANY IDEAS OUT THERE?

Vaporlock. Do a search under vapor lock above, you will find something.

pwilson; I had a similar problem. Every time I ran W.O.T debris would clog the screen on the fuel pickup tube in the fuel tank. I finally took the screen off, let debris come up into racor water sep filter. Hope this helps.
