Topic: honda 7.5 runs rough with cover on <br /> No spark <br /><br />Check those and tell us if you still have a spark when it quits, or if there is an exhaust leak.

You have an exhust leak. Check the exhust pipe that is attached to the bottom of the cyl. head. It has a hole in it and let's exhust escape into the motor pan. If you run it and look below the cyl. head, you should see the tell-tale signs of exhust leakage with a flashlite. . Be careful as the three bolts that secure the exhust tube to the head are a bi#*h to get out!!! Also check the seal that goes around the tube. It can be ripp'd and also let the exhust in. Those screws are also a drag to remove if they're stubborn!!
