I just purchased this motor and it ran great the first two times I took it out. After that, it run great for about ten to fifteen minutes then start bogging down but would not stall out. It idles fine but as soon as I open the throttle it will speed up then slow down speed up slow down voilently. So if any one can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Sounds like your fuel tank vent may be closed or clogged. Check that out first and let us know...

Well, I have already checked that. Added a water seperator and replaced the in line fuel filter. I have a fuel pump repair kit on its way to my house, so I'm hopeing that it might do the trick. A friend of mine told me that the problem might be the ignition module or the power pack, is that possable?
