12 Mins! It's funny, just when I think I've got my stuff all hooked up right I read a post like that and am again convinced there is something wrong with my setup. If I go 6.5 mins, the motor gets so hot that it starts to loose power - not a little but massive drop in perfromance, I pull off. I don't think I've ever (in any weather) made more than 7 mins without something bad happeneing. More power to you...
