Another mowing season is upon me but my 140 only runs about 30 minutes then it just cuts off. The coil is too hot to hold my hand on, and it won't crank back up. If I let sit for about 30 minutes the coil will cool off some and then it will crank and run for a while until the same thing happens again. This has been going on for several years and I need to fix this.
I have changed the alternator, plugs, and coil to no avail. The alternator is putting out a little over 14 V. I can't figure out what's causing this and need some help / ideas.
Is it possible the electronic ignition is crapping out after running for 30 minutes? I have a spare I could install but those things aren't cheap.
