Super Jet Need some help on figuring out what's up with my SJ!!!

So I took my 1996 superjet out today after just replacing my exhaust hoses the night before. It ran like a champ for like 2 hours and then all of a sudden it started to bog when I would get on the throttle. Then it would stop for a little and then it would bog again after I would get on it. And then it wouldn't even let me go past half throttle or it would just completely stop until I let off. Then it just stopped running altogether and after letting it sit for like 5 min it started back up again and let me ride to shore. And now it won't start at all it turns over great but won't start.

Thanks for your guys help it's very appreciated!!

2 hours huh? run out of gas?
check if you have fuel, then
check to see if you have spark
then check compression

sounds like fuel delivery to me. If you have the stock fuel switch (on, reserve, off) bypass it and go straight to the carb. if it fixes the problem you know your switch is gunked up
 
Okay thanks a lot guys I will try it again tomorrow. Today i went back out and the starting problem was fixed but after about a half a tank of gas it started to bog out of turns and then progressed to the top end. I am running a coffman lightning series exhaust by the way.

my 91 superjet used to start on the trailer and in the water but once you put any weight on it it would bog out the reeds had exploded so we had to go in and fix them runs fine now would be one of the last things to check but could be a problem
 
okay well we just found a cracked fuel line and found that one of the carbs wasn't opening all the way so we are going to fix those issues and see how things go and the reeds will be the next thing if the problem doesn't get fixed thank you
