Thanks again for all the leads

It happens over cruising speed, say anywhere between 22 to 28 mph. After a take off, it runs strong and after a couple of miles of cruising it starts to sputter... after priming the bulb the motor runs fine for awhile and sputters again untill another bulb priming...so on so forth!
