Recently acquired 84 bf100 , ran fine for 2 days . now it stalls , seems to be getting hot. Hot on head cant touch for more than a couple seconds. Pee stream is strong but cold, Starts right back up in 1-2 pulls.,, runs for 15-20 minutes and stalls . Any suggestions on where to start ? I'm new to this site so be gentle with me.. Screen is clean, squeezing bulb makes no change. Opened carb drain screw after stalling, has fuel in bowl. tested thermostat in hot water, at 170 deg it opened 1.9mm 1.8mm 2.1mm is that far enough ? At 180 its 2.0 and 2.2 Thanks for any input ...
