next time it dies out pull the plug or have another plug handy to check to see if you have spark .

that will rule out cdi ,coil, all that would be left is everything else. air, fuel, compression, and weak battery.

now when you check spark when it dies it should be bluish with a strong arcing sound.any thing besides this may be a weak coil, or coil to plug wire.

try that first and post back your finds we will go from there -corey-

What about the CDI overheating? sounds like it's cutting out when it gets to hot thats why you have to wait abit adn why it doesn't run as long as the 1st time (because it's already hot)
