I use the choke momentarily to start and then push it back up so I'm pretty sure it works fine. I don't know much about these little engines( I use to work on cars) How does the ignition work on these engines? The reason I ask is because years ago I know that a coil in a car could work fine when cold and quit when it got warm. These engines fire off a magneto, right? what about a condenser? do they have one and could it be bad? I'm just reaching for anything. Thanks for any input

Here's a pic, its #4:
Can't say if that's what's causing your problem! But now you know where to find it!

To bashr52, thanks for responding, The plug looks a little black and sooty when I pull it out but not to bad, the engine doesn't overheat. I found a coil on ebay, think I ought to experiment with buying it and sticking it on? I know that most electronic things either work or they don't with not a lot of gray area in between but it is just strange that sometimes it seems to run pretty good for a little while and then last night I started it and it quit running decent within a few minutes. It sat for a while, think I should pull the plate and check the mag for rust, dirt, broken parts etc? Any ideas greatly appreciated. Didn't get to look at it tonight, had to work OT. thanks again
