Thanks guys

Here's the thing I had a mechanic look at it and it happened to him he said that this is a saftey feature in johnsons thats called SLOW it drops all RPM to 2500 starving the engine of Fuel so the engine won't burn up that said here is what happened you are running great at high RPM's and then all of a sudden it drops back to 2500 and won't go any higher the hot light alarm came on but the engine is not hot if you start wiggling the wires on the engine harness it goes away sometimes I believe I have a short in the wire harness that tells the power pack to go into SLOW as for the primer bulb for along time I thought that was it I even took off the water seperators thinking that was it then I started to prime the bulbs before I start the engines and that seemed to work for a while soI thought but now its doing it again even priming I will change the bulb now to see if it helps.
