I have this kicker on just in case of a emergency. Well I haven't had one recently so I decieded to give it a run. Before going I tighted all of the gas line connections. The problem is that it will only run for a couple minutes before it stops, the slower I go the longer it will run. It isn't running out of gas the line is full. Just wondering what needs to be adjusted? I used it a couple days before this and it ran perfectly but I was using another gas line and it was before I tightened everything. It was also a little tougher to start when this was happening, I would have to pull the choke out after each time it would stop.
