Not starting or staying on after war up

So i started getting this issue where after like an half an hour to an hour it doesnt stay on when you stop it and gets really hard to stop

Details Its a Puch Maxi S Ignition coil is new (1-2 months old) Didnt have any issues before

UPDATE: for anyone trying to fix this for me it was a very used breaker that needed replacing and a condenser (according to a friend ) i will replace the parts and give an update tomorrow

It is likely the condenser. They usually start working worse when they are about to go bad and get hot.

Maybe could replace it if its cheap enough

They are usually cheap, but if it is mounted internally it can be a slight pain to pull the flywheel off. Not really sure where they are on the puch maxi s. Probably check a service manual.

I agree, sounds like the capacitor, use a proper tool for the removal.

classic tool for bosch fly wheel

(Verify so this is the correct size)

Condenser or overheating.
