318 Onan John Deere

12 years ago

After running for 20/30 minutes my 318 just shuts down like it ran out of fuel. I have replaced fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel lines, coil, regulator. I have shot starter fluid direct into carberator within 10 min. and still won't start. I wait about an hour or till it cools down and it takes right off. Help
Thanks Dick

Might be the vent in the gas cap. Next time it dies unscrew the cap a couple turns and see if it runs.

Could be an ignition coil breaking down when it gets hot.

I have tried that. Could it be the ignition module? I have a 1990 with a onan engine. This I think is the last electical part I have not replaced if it has one.
Thanks
