I pulled the plugs today and it sure looks like the top one was fuel fouled. Pretty wet and dark. The other looked normal.
Replaced both.
I am thinking that if the top plug was fouled, it would help explain the lack of power under full throttle, however I am not sure if it lends itself to the mystery of the 3-5 minute run time.
Will find out more tomorrow morning when I got to Estecada and attempt to use it. Minkota will be along for the ride in case it glitches out on me again.....
