I think there was another thread on this same issue ,with the same motor type, within a year or two ago. I can’t remember if it had a solution or what it was. One of those should fire off pretty much in half a revolution, like many OMC products, when it’s warm. I would suspect a charge coil or power pack getting hot, but it’s easy to speculate from here. If it were mine, I would take a baseline spark and compression test while cold, then operate the engine until the condition happens and re-check. Maybe also check the fuel tank vent…If the tank built pressure AND the float valve leaked by a little, it could flood sitting still. You don’t have one of those newer, stupid, one-way vented EPA tanks, do you? The ones that blow up like a wood tick, in the sun?
Long live American manufacturing!
