I would start with the carb. Does it still run good a for a little while then give problems? If so I would clean the bowl real good. Also check the needle. 300ex is bad about droping the needle. Make sure the clip is in the middle groove.

let me know what you find.

If that's not the problem you need to swap the cdi with another one.

maybe your coil getting hot and quitting. what does it do when it cool's off? Does it run good or does it as you say still run like poo?

it has allways acted up at the end of the day so we dont try to start it tell in the morning and it fires up perfuctly without even needing choke
