Dell's words from a previous post: There are 4 common runtime issues with N-Engines. 1) runs for about 60 minutes and quits, restarts next day, BAD ignition coil
2) runs for about 15 mins and quits, restarts in a bout 1 hr, Gunked up ignition switch
3) runs for about 3 mins and quits, restarts in a bout 15 mins, Clogged gas filters, check your glass bowl filter and your carburetor elbow filter (there is 3, but 2 most common)
4) runs for about 1 minute and quits, restarts in about 30 minutes its BAD CONDENSER in ignition distributor If you got a square front mount distributor, it’s a 2-bolt undo, 15 minute job on kitchen table to replace the condenser and check/replace the ignition points. (gap = 0.015") Generally, you just buy BOTH the points and condenser in a "kit". The front mount distributor is driven by "off-set tang" and unless you use big hammer, you can't re-install it out of time. Just start both 5/16 bolts by finger and rotate the distributor rotor until everything slips together, then tighten the 1/2" hex bolts. Snap the distributor cap in place, snap the square coil in place and you should be good to go. And NO, you don't have to unplug the spark wires from the 4-terminal flat cap to remove the distributor, just unclip and push cap aside. BTW, the firing order is 1,2,4,3 CCW.
