It runs for 30 minutes then shuts off abruptly, then restarts after a
cooldown. It's a bad coil. Nothing hard about the diagnosis. When it
quits, you pull the plug wire off, check it for spark, see none, go to the
store, buy a coil and install it. This machine could have been repaired 73
times in the time you all have guessed about it.
