Just one other thing.....make sure you don't have a bad ground somewhere. My motor did the same thing and it turned out to be a bad connection at the negative post. I had done some rewiring and so I disconnected all accessories etc at the battery and made sure there were good connections at the battery. Started up just fine. It happened again at the ramp when I tried to launch as the negative post had come loose on the drive. Tightened it down and started fine.
