Make sure the fuel system is up to snuff.<br />Try pumping the primer when it acts like this to see if it picks up,even if it is a temporary improvement. If not,this is a common failure, but you will need "the book" to confirm it...It sounds like the low-speed windings in the stator are toasted.<br />Do a search here under Stator, and you may find several examples of others "feeling your pain".<br />Good luck.

I had this problem with a Mariner 90HP and it was a bad power pack. Have that part checked by a mechanic or get one on eBay and replace it. It usually easy to do and not that expensive for a good used one.
