ignition problems are usually steady.... except for heating up of ignition switches, coils or loose wires... so they seem to produce a continuous symptoms as a rule.....
So I would wiggle the ignition switch or throw cold water on the coil and see if problem goes away, if you can catch it when it happens.. I have seen wires that were broke inside the insulation and would cause the coil to cut off and kill the engine, especially where the wire fastens to the coil or ignition switch. I have installed a small bulb on the ignition side of the coil, to ground so I had a constant test light and could watch the voltage to the coil,, in some rare cases where it was a hard to find problem...
BUT.... its usually a fuel problem where something is moving around and clogging the fuel flow momentarily... something in the tank or in the carb or one of the screens
Or its getting the fuel lines hot and its vapor locking or boiling the gas in the fuel lines...
Occasionally if your running rich.. a piece of carbon can break loose and foul a plug , or cause a valve to stick and cause a cyl to misfire and back fire... check your plugs for carbon buildup.. and make sure your running an hd detergent oil to keep the valve stems clean...
the gas problem is usually first and foremost if it runs good the rest of the time.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
