You must determine if there is a fire (spark) problem or fuel problem when it is hot.

Sounds like the coil is bad. Check for spark when it's hot. Preferably with a inline spark tester. It may show spark, but it could be very weak.

Pull the cover off the engine and check for dirt, grass, and leaves. Clean anything you find dirty.
