Was running for about 4 hours cutting oats, all of a sudden shuts off, starts for a bit and shuts off. I pulled gas line off the fuel pump and fair flow of gas, so i chase into town, get back in about an hours or so and put a new in line filter and gas hose, starts right up and run another four hours no problems. Last round before i have to take the kids into church and it starts to sputter, but then straightens out. Come back two hours later, it fires right up and i cut for about an hour, I stop to adjust a chain for a minute, but leave the motor running, just before i climb back on it shuts off quick. Cranks, but won't start back up, good gas flow to fuel pump. I will check in the morning if it has spark. It has an ignition box similiar to the ford pickups form the mid 80s. Anyone familiar with these, could the heat from the engine cause them to cut off? Thanks for any help or information.
