When it refuses to start, pull a spark plug and check and see if you
have a nice hot blue spark. If not it more than likely is a bad
ignition coil. They are more apt to fail when they get hot. If its got
a good spark I would look at the carb running a bit to rich, and
possibly cause it to flood when shuting down. This may be from some
trash in the bowl and getting under the seat of the float inlet valve,
or an adjustment. More than likely its a bad coil or trash in the
carb, or possibly a filter.
