Echo 346 stops when hot

[flashy]

My Echo cs-346 starts, runs and cuts fine until it gets really warmed up and then it shuts down and won't re-start until it has cooled off. What are some possible causes?

Thanks for any future serious responses. I'm not interested in hearing any bashing.

I would try a new spark plug first, if not that look into your ignition coil. Could also be a bad wire that when it gets hot it will ground itself out or go to a open condition. Sounds like it's a thermo problem.

My Dolmar did the same thing and all I did was replace the spark plug and it ran fine after that.

Good luck.
Dave

Early sign of a dying coil. Check for open circuit as soon as it quits.
