    It will run wide open and then die?

    Then it will not restart?

    Once it cools off will it restart and run again?

    Elgin,
    No it starts on the muffs and runs fine then ,when at the lake it starts like you have it wide open for a split second then dies and thats all it will do is start and die.....Thanks Steve
