Take the cowling off. Also drop the foot. There wil be a stainless linkage rod that runs the length of the motor that you will have undo to drop the foot. The water impeller will be inside a stainless casing that you will have to disassemble.
Checked the vent cap on the fuel tank?
Check if it runs again great after pumping fuel...
Check when it drops power if both spark plugs still sparks...
You can have a bad coil or cdi...
If the gear lever is loose,it's the gear connection rod that you disconnect to do a g/box drop.If its not loose, drop the g/box off the leg and the first thing you find might be the problem.A loose bolt,a jammed shifter.It will probably be a connection problem than a g/box problemHope this helps
Seat the idle mixture screw. Turn counter clockwise 1 1/2 turns. With engine running in gear under a load at idle slowly turn the screw clockwise until the engine bogs down and then turn back out 1/2 a turn. That is your correct mixture.
Start by adjusting your idle mixture screw. Start at 1 1/2 turns out and with the engine in gear at an idle slowly turn the screw clockwise until the engine starts to die, then back off a half turn and that will be your proper setting. If you need to you can bump up your idle stop screw just a touch so it will hold also.
