is the vent open on the fuel tank. fuel pump cannot pump out of a vacuum. plastic tanks, had a knob in the center of the cap that has to be open.

does it feel like you hit something? may a submerge log, does it bang or make a noise?

nope doesnt feel like its hit anything the engine just starts to jerk ater a little while on 3/4to full throttle and loses power so i reduce the throttle and all is fine on idling or on very slight throttle

next time it does it, immediately check you spark. does having someone pump the fuel line bulb help keep it running.

possible a dirty fuel line preventing the fuel needed approaching WOT?

it runs 15 minutes at WOT, then bogs, that is why i suggested spark, coil could be heating up and failing, the motor would still idle on one cylinder.
