I'm going to dig in it a little more over the weekend and I'll let you know if that was it
In line fuel filter going bad. The paper elements get week over time and collapse after running for awhile. after sitting for an extended period of tome the go back to normal shape, but it will collapse completely here before long. That's one of the first things we used to change when encountering fuel problems when I worked on small engines
It is the solid state ignition or the coil. They get hot and breakdown. When they cool, it will run again. Fire that sucker up, run up the engine wide open, and let it run til it quits. Jerk the sparkplug out and check for spark. I don't think you will have any.
You will then have to replace the coil or the the solid state ignition. Inspect the coil very closely. I bet you will find one or more small cracks in the plastic covering the coil.
my money is on the coil
