Hi guys, I'm having issues with this machine. Starts well when cold, and runs like a dream until it gets hot, but then experiences loss of power once it gets hot. Also very difficult to get started when machine is hot, even after sitting in shade. Takes at least a dozen pulls to start when hot. I use Red Max 50:1 mix with 93 octane gas. The plug is new, the spark arrestor is removed and the muffler is clean. Everything is tight. One other issue that may be an indicator of my problem is that I get a lot of oil buildup under the carb and around the primer bulb. The carb gasket looks good and is in one piece. I've narrowed the problem down to a faulty ignition coil or a bad carb. Any thoughts? Also, I've added a photo in hopes someone can specify where the ignition coil is located. Thanks a lot and enjoy this early spring!
