Loss of power
My 360 starts and runs real good. There is no skip or miss of any kind. It sounds great with the glass packs, but this is only for a while. I was pulling my trailor with lawnmower and for about 15 miles everything is perfect. Then it begins to sound louder (mufflers), less power going up hills. There are no oil leaks..... but it sounds like a rocker arm mite be loose. However after it sets up a while, it will be OK again. It repeats this each time. Would a bad coil cause this? Any ideas before I start to work on this thing.

Re: Loss of power
Found the problem. Someone suggested to ck the choke and this was the problem. Thanks

Re: Loss of power
I love an easy repair.
If it had been doing it for a while you might want to change your oil, there's a chance it's contaminated by the choke flooding the engine like that.
