QuestionThis unit runs fine at full power for 5-10 minutes. Then it starts to lose power and slowly dies. Overheating? It will restart after cooling down but will not run for long! Ideas?
AnswerHello Jeff:
>>From your Description it Sounds like the Engine Requires Rings or the Exhaust Port is Restricted and Requires Cleaning.
>>The Following is a Basic Instruction File for Doing a Diagnostic on the Engine for this Problem. Any Input is Appreciated.
>>**Remove the Muffler and Make Sure the Exhaust Port is Clear.
>>If it is, then Try to Start the engine with the Muffler Off.
>>If it Starts and Runs Properly, then Clean the Spark Arrestor Screen in the Muffler or Replace the Muffler if Required.
