When I let it rest it runs just fine for another 30 mins. Does it have a temp sensor or could it be overheating? The fan on the drveshaft is on and I have the side pannels on, or is it time to retire it?
You might want to check the fuel flow to the carb.
and/or possibly water in the gas. it is very easy to do, and will cause it to act that way.
