power loss b4200

[5larry]

My b4200 is losing power after a few minutes running time. Eventually just dies and won't start as if it's out of fuel. reprimed it and it started and ran for a while then the same thing , gradually lost power and died. Engine not hot or smoking. If I shut it down for a while, it will start and run for a bit more. Any ideas on what's going on with it?

Clogged fuel line or fuel filter...........?........just a guess.

Also check air filter too. It can cause some of the same issues.

I'm thinking the same thing on this one. You may have something blocking the inlet of the fuel line inside the tank. May need to pull the tank and do a flush and some fresh fuel.
