Is the primer bulb sposed to stay hard after running a while, and if so... what troubles is that pointing to if it doesn't stay hard?

no, usually runs well, and jumps on plane up to about 40 mph... then slowly over the course of 5-10 minutes slows down to about 5 mph and then dies. it will restart, but the motor sounds bawged down and will not go faster than 5 mph (speedo doesn't work either so I'm estimating) and dies after about 15-45 seconds no matter what the position of the throttle stick thing.<br /><br />thanks for the quick reply merc, and your interest in my project.

Something electrical is failing. When the problem happens...turn the engine off and remove the spark plugs...look for a wet one or two.<br /><br />TMD
