When a coil gets hot they fail sometimes.

Can you get it to act up in "maintenance" mode? Have a spark plug and some carb spray or starting fluid close at hand. Run it till it quits, yank the coil wire off the spark plug and hook it to a loose spark plug that's touched to ground to see if you have spark. If you do, hook it to the installed plug again, remove the intake hose and give it a shot of starting fluid or carb cleaner. That should at least confirm if it's a fuel problem or spark problem.

I second that. If that coil is the original, its 23+ years old. Once they start getting warm.........

Thumbs up Re: engine quits after 3or 4 minutes

Problem turned out to be sediment in fuel tank, cleaned it and installed new screen on pick up tube. Runs great now, thanks for all the input.
