Default 2-cycle engine quits when hot

I'd clean the cooling fins real good - and the air filter - then try it
again. Have you adjusted the carb jets ?


Ditto that. And don't monkey with the carburetor.

Two years ago I took a old mower to the local repair shop. Some kids
were assigned to make it run continuously but they failed 3 times.
There was lots of adjusting of the carb screws but nothing helped.
Finally, on the 4th trip the old guy that owned the shop spent about 10
minutes and had it running fine -- he just cleaned the fins with an air
blast. Total: $64.
