RE: motor cut out problem
If the engine starts and runs after sitting for a few minutes I would suspect poor/restricted fuel flow to the carb. Some things would be: pinched fuel hose, fuel filter plugged, or the tank not venting thru the gas cap (obstructed vent hole) and allowing good fuel flow. Since the coil is new I'm not thinking about it heating up and and dropping voltage. Good luck.
