G5 bogs down hot

[YamahaG5]

I have a G5 gas that bogs down hot at times and starts to sputter and won't go. Is there a manual or info so I can check the fuel pump, coil and CDI?
Thanks.

Oh, I've cleaned the carb, checked compression and adjusted the valves.

Hello, does choking it help when that happens?

[YamahaG5]

No, not really.

To test the fuel pump, take off the pipe that runs from the fuel pump to the carburetor and put it over a bucket. Now press the gas and fuel will flow out, if it does not you have a fuel pump problem.

To test the spark, when the cart is acting up remove the spark plug and in a dark area hold the spark plug to a ground and press the gas, you should see the spark plug do a nice blue spark. Not yellow.

I charged the battery very slowly, seems to run better now but it's charging over 16V. I think it needs a voltage regulator.

A 16.2 volt reading is just fine.
