    Hi There
    I have a sn that has developed a problem.Took it out last weekend ran fine for about one minute , then lost power and eventually stopped.
    Plugs looked fine , swapped them any way.felt like a fuel stavation issue but cant find anything obvious, drained filter (which fills up when engine is started)no water in fuel, carb diaphragms look fine.
    all hoses connected.does the same thing on res and on.
    Have tried since the weekend and runs ok for the first minute then looses power.
    Anyone know what it is likely to be.?

    Well, more that the whole jet unit housing and all almost fell out. I wasn't there, but I heard he was lucky he never made it to the surf as the conditions were pretty big that day.
