I verified temps with a gun. Water neck/cross over was 150-155°, but even running as cool as it is, it does not like restarting.

I'll have to revisit it soon. Been busy with a bunch of stuff lately
Might try checking the spark quality next time it acts up. It's possible the coil isn't happy when warm.

I've got one of these nowadays but for years I used an old spark plug that I modified by cutting off the electrode tang and replacing it with a piece of coat hanger I brazed to the plug so I could have at least a 1/2" gap for the spark to jump.
