I've got a 7.5 gamefisher that does not seem to want to go to it's highest speed. Then, after running it a while, it conks out and I have to let it cool for a while before it will start again. When it does restart, it still does not go up to it's speed capacity. Is this a tune-up issue??

To be sure what you have we need a model number.
Is it pumping water?How long does it run?How long does it need to cool?Does choking help when it starts to stall?
Does choking help it to perform better?

Thanks Spike!

I'll find the model number and get back to ya!!

I believe the water vents are under water, just above the prop. How do I know if it is pumping water?

look near the back of the shaft right under the powerhead and water should be coming out in a stream
