I replaced the plug with a new one 3 different times (P3 and tried a P4), but it kept dying once I took the heater off.(I'm in Florida, so the outside temp isn't an issue) The engine only has about 3 1/2 gallons through it, ran very strong and has plenty of pinch left.

Can anyone give me any advice as to why this is happening and suggest a fix? I appreciate any help I can get!
were the plugs you tried brand new ..i had the same thing happen with my p5xlt and it was the plug ..im just sayin thats what i would think ...i ran grps 3 of them all last season and i never had a plug die or my motor just die ...but i run odonells plugs i would maybe pull out the p/s make sure no foriegn matter got in there as well ..honestly sounds like a plug
