what kind of oil are you using? it may be your spark plug fouling up with a little carbon. the carbon hardens up and sticks to the plug at high temps causing the plug to foul out. after it cools down, it melts off again and you get spark. try using a synthetic 2 stroke oil like Mobil MX2T. that is what i use on my 91 tomos after having the same problem cus the guy i bought it from musta been an idiot or sumpthin and he put in this 15 year old lawnboy stuff, and i had the same problem. also, i wonder what everyone out there uses for 2 stroke oil. i use Mobil MX2T synthetic 2 stroke and Bel Ray S-2 2 stroke lube.
