Answer
Hi Mick,

I cannot accurately diagnose the problem from the description provided.

The problem may be caused by water shorting, defective electrical component, loose battery connection, lugging the engine, something minor, or something major.

I recommend a local tech inspect the problem for you.

Respectfully,
