i have no problem starting but after cruising around for as short as 15 minutes, i have major problems restarting engtne. thers lots of power coming from the battery, it just won't fire. very embarrising.please help!its a 74 model.fuel filter problem?, coil problem? i've got the motor restartd, but only after continual retrying to start it. this just wears down the battery.also when i start off after restarting it, it stalls, causing problems again restarting. for it not to stall, i have to rev up the engine, high throttle, for about 15 secs.
