"I was out on the weekend and the outboard ran without a problem for a good hour, i then stoped and turned the outboard off and dropped anchor and was at rest for some time. when i started the motor back up to go home it ran ok for about 5 minutes to where a loud beeping alarm was coming from the rev guage and the motor would splutter and spit and only push the boat foward at around 10kph. I thaught maby the fuel could be bad so i switched to the tote tank and same problem. i killed the engine and then restarted it and reved it in neutral and it ran sweet for another 5 minutes and the same problem this kept happening to the point where the engine would only run at idle speed and it took a long time to get back. at the time the 2 stroke mix is full and the spark plugs are new. could anyone please help. Thanks"
