Also forgot to mention when the power loss happens he revved it up an there was nothing in it, it sounded like a manual choke car when the engine is warm and you pull the choke all the way out, almost as if its getting to much fuel or perhaps being starved off air!!!!!!!!!

Different parameter now so its air filter or auto choke problem [this could also include air flow sensor and ambient air sensor] but for most easy for earthlings, fuel filter , air filter, check ing leads for arc down ,best oh luck. . .richhrv said:
