Last year I replaced most of my ignition sytem before learning that my shift interupter was stuck in the middle...The electric pick up and most of the cap was corrroded when I changed them I replaced the pickup, cleaned the cap, replaced the coil, wires etc. Then after discovering the interupter being stuck..freed it up and she fired right up. I took it out and she ran great for about 30 min then at almost full throttle she stopped dead. Again after a bit it fired up again. To make a long story short heres what is going on now. It will run for short periods of time then it just dies out and loses spark? Next day or after time to cool down...she will fire right up run then die? Is it possible that I got a bad pickup and what sequence should I test these in? I dont think its the coil because Ive swapped it out with another that I know is good. HELP

Sounds like what mine did when the ignition control module was going bad. There is a way to test the system. Find a copy of the shop manual that goes into detail on how to trouble shoot the ignition system.
