"Hi all, my little aq130c is becoming a hole in the water that cash just flows in to.
Firstly I had water in the oil. Turned out to be the seals on the impeller shaft were worn and water was spitting into the camshaft housing.
Next I replaced the points with the hotspark kit. It was running beautiful in a water tank at home but was over heating.
I think we got the over heating problem solved but now the motor will not stay running.
It starts up great, idles fine and has good throttle responce, but after a few mins will start to run rough and eventually runs so poorly that there is no throttle responce and it basically dies.
Let it sit a few mins and the whole process repeats....good ilde and throttle responce followed by worsening condition.
Ran a fuel line into a gas can to bypass the tank and still the same. Think Im gonna try an electric fuel pump tommorow.
Any ideas?"
