Mend Briggs & Stratton 8 Hp

I have a 8 h.p. briggs and stratton snowblower,?

The snowblower starts good and runs good, then after about 15 minutes of running it starts to run rough and on occasion will start to miss fire through the muffler and finally stall and will not re-start, until a day or two later, fresh gas and new plug ????

much the same thing happened to me this morn.,, in my case i had forgot to open the fuel shut-off under gas tank. once that was fully open motor ran good

This sounds like a coil failure. It's fine until it gets hot, then the insulation fails. They're not hard to get - any B&S dealer will have it. Ebay will be cheaper.
