[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 182005, member: 3278"] Still a little vague on details but lets give it a shot. If the engine runs from a cold start up to 45 min then quits, starts and runs 4-5 minutes it could be a coil getting warm, opening up a little and shorting to ground. Not knowing the year model of your engine or it's service history I can only guess at that one. Your primer bulb should only get firm when squeezed by hand to initially prime the engine, thats the only time it is pressurized. Once the engine starts the fuel pump pulls or sucks fuel from the tank across the bulb to the engine. You absolutely need to find the source for the fuel squirting. That is probably related to the issue you are having. As was previously mentioned you may need to do a carb job to clean out debris and varnish. [/QUOTE]
