It may sound crazy, but it may be the plug wires. Some Onans have a resister built into the wire. On the ones I've seen it was inside the plug boot. It's possible it could be breaking down when it gets hot and causing the problem. I had one a while back that did sorta the same thing. If I put an inline tester on the wire it would start and run, but if that little bit of extra resistance that the tester provided was removed, it wouldn't start to save it.
As for the price of the coil, it sounds about right to me. The last one I bought was in the same neighborhood. The deal with Onan is that they use these odd parts so you have to go back to them and they can charge a premium price. Also the older the engine, the more expensive the part. I guess their hoping you'll buy a new one from them instead of spending all the money to fix the old one. I think that's one of the reasons mfgs like Miller has started using Kohler engines in their welders more instead of the Onans.
Good luck finding the problem.
