Runs good for around ten minutes then hesitation at times. Feels like its bogging out. It is getting fuel and when I push prime, it floods itself & dies. Pull three more times to start. Runs ok for a bit then same bogging out happens.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like a coil or electrical component.

Any way to test the coil?

you could check the resistance, but it would be best to check it after it warms up. Might be easier to replace it and see if it helps.
