302.5C bogging down wants to stall after several minutes

yt55

It starts right up, has about 550 hours but after about 10 minutes of use, you can start feeling it lose power, to where eventually you can't move 2 feet without the motor straining and shutting down. If I let rest awhile it runs until it decides to sputter. Changed fuel filter still does the same

The mini 302.5c has a panel which give temp and pressure. Are all reading OK? And did you change the fuel filter due to a fuel problem? How did the donaldson filter look inside (did U remove the element to see contaimnation). Look at the air filter to make sure no clog due to construction site contaimnation. Next check for shorts and fuel flow. Cat has an execelent help line to focus on getting to the exact issue. But it sounds like it is either fuel flow, shorts, or air intake issues. But we can not ingore the fuel pump since you get started but can not exceed movement. We would need more information to get to the exact issue.
