PROBLEM - NEED HELP !! Engine runs great, forward and reverse.  Illuminated well, horn whistle is good, BUT engine comes to a complete stop with a full idle and illumination and then minutes later will take off on its own.  Note - I am running these engines with a MTH Z-4000 transformer.  I am also running other K-Line engine with the same transformer and no problems.

Thank you for answering. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.  Working long hours due to weather.  21 Volts in Neutral (1-3 AMPS) with it idling waiting for it to run.  Starts to run and voltage drops to 15V and amps up to 8.2 continues a little bit and then stops again and returns back to the 21V.  Pressing direction, horn, whistle doesn't do anything.  It has a mind of its own.  Afraid to run it any more for fear of damaging engine.
