My powder special keeps dying on me It seems to run OK for a bit then starts to backfire now and then then just dies. It won't start again until you let it sit for 5-10 mins then will start again I didn't use it at all last year,drained as much fuel as I could and put fresh fuel in before the first start this year.

Any ideas of where to start looking?

I have a couple wiring harnesses and a coil if you need one for trouble shooting.
