I have a Forman which was running fine but when working hard in the higher temps ,fan on etc it start to Hunt or hiccup when asking to go forward?

If I let it stop working it just ticks over fine but won’t pull away it starts cutting out but not quite ie hiccuping.

Anyone can help that would be great, this only happens when the motor is hot and fans running.

Sometimes the fuel can boil when it gets hot. Check that. Otherwise is sounds like it's starving for fuel. If that is the case then clean and or overhaul the carb, drain the fuel tank, disassemble the petcock and clean. I can't remember if this model has a fuel pump or not. This would be an excellent time to adjust the valves and cam chain tension. Tight valves can make the engine run funny when hot.

After cleaning the carb and tank I'd run a stabilizer in your fuel at all times, Seafoam is good as are others, but Seafoam is the majority favorite on here at least. Also if you haven't already it's a good time to replace your spark plug for better fire. NGK iridium plugs are the best going. I'm sure if you look up your machine you can find one.
