Problem: she runs perfect in the driveway (idles/revs good) and went around the block with good power a few times until she quit. pulled over to the shoulder and waited half minute-fires up and runs for 15-20 seconds then quits (took me 10 mins to get the two blocks home :mad: I checked the fuel to the carb-good. Thinking it might be electrical. What would make it run good for a short time and then die like I turned off the ignition??? Thanks for the help in advance  ND | | |

I have ran the motor in the driveway several times up to operating temps but I'll keep an eye on the coil.
I do have an auto choke however everytime I check it after it dies I look it over good and I didn't notice the choke shut (I have the filter off)
Thanks for the ideas, I'll keep you posted!!
