I'm wondering if the oil thins sufficiently to trigger the low oil shut down. 30 weight oil was suggested as a warm weather alternative. Didn't seem to do it before I changed the oil and I don't want to change it again if I can help it .

Spark is likely the issue, put a Bosch plug in it, if your not moving when it warms up and quits then fuel issues are doubtful but, change the plug, change the fuel, , dump out the tank, clean the bowl, your oil is fine if the level is right, if it continues then look for a grounding kill switch wire that has rubbed through, lastly the coil. Or maybe a bad safety switch on your seat.
