At least it can be fixed cheaply. AND why redo the ignition AND carb? Usually only goes out at a time - or have the servicing needs been ignored until it broke down? That"s what it sounds like from the tone of your posting!
Are you sure it"s not run out of fuel, or a loose connection to the ignition circuit.
Err.. like, does it have a good spark/is there a fuel blockage? These simple questions may save you a lot of wasted time repairing something that is not broke. In fact you should have known whether it was fuel or electrical before posting on here. Coils can seem Ok when cold. I mean if it just stopped while you were using it, surely you would have tried to start it? No point in just turning the key to run down the battery unless you are diagnosing the problem. If"n it stopped there must be a reason an" until that reason is removed/rectified, it ain"t going to go (or not for very long).
