Answer
Hi D.D.,
I would look into the Pick up coil, otherwise called the Pulse coil. Many times when they get hot, they will shut down and not send a pulse to the CDI telling when to spark. Unfortunately, many times you are only able to buy the stator AND pulse coil at the same time.

Hope this helps!
