JD 318 Runs only a short while

Edgy
9 years ago

I have a 318 that runs for 5-15 minutes and then slows down and dies. I can pull the choke when the problem starts and it will run at slow idle for 15 seconds or so, with virtually no power, but then die. I have heard this is possibly the pick up coil (for lack of a better term).

I have replaced gas, plugs, gas filter, cleaned carb. Points look okay (but older for sure).

I believe the problem is electric, but not sure what.
Help.
