Hi

not sure if anyone can help.

I have just renovated a sv3 stationary engine. I have had it running and it will start now but cuts out after a couple of minutes. Tried everything I can think off, the only thing I’m not 100% about is the plug gap.

Thanks in anticipation

Are you sure the cylinder/piston is getting oil?

How hot is the carb bowl when it stops?

How hot is the ignition coil when it stops?
