1985 yamaha srv 540

have a 85 srv 540 snowmachine the prob is that it will run for 2-10 minutes then die,have to let it sit for about 5 min and it will fire back up,unless i pull plugs and prime it then it starts right away,have cleaned carb and set to factory specs.Could fuel pump be weak??would a air leak in fuel lines cause same prob??Update---- ran for about 30 minutes this time then died,will not start even with prime, spark is their but seems a little weak ,will not even fire

Certainly sounds like an ignition problem. Trouble is, there are two components to the system. The CDI box and the coil. I'd remove each and take to a Yamaha dealer for them to test each and pinpoint which is the source of trouble. Go here http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/my...starthere.aspx if you are unsure where to look for each.

Exclamation Srv

Go to Royal Distributing.com and pick up a CDI cheap. The coil will have to be bench tested. This means taking the magnito apart.
Sounds like a vacuum leak in the fuel pump as well. The problem seems intermittant. You can buy a new diaphram and gasket set for the pump as well. To replace the coil would be pricey.
