Default Briggs & Stratton 16HP problems

Mounted on 2013 Snapper Rotary Brush Cutter.

New last summer & ran about three tanks of gasoline
(with stabilizer) through it. End of season closed
fuel valve and ran 'til empty. Then disconnected
fuel line and emptied tank completely. Yesterday
filled halfway with new gasoline with stabilzer.
Started and ran fine for about 20 minutes and then
quit. Plenty of fuel in tank. Will not start.
Fires one or two times and quits.
Any suggestions?

One of the brands had bad insulation on the
ignition coil. One of the many things might
be, is clogged cooling fins and coil over
heating. Could also be valve clearance. Or
cheap motor oil. These three conditions can
cause the 20 minutes and dies symptoms.
