RE: i should have listened
remember you can have pinch, but have no compression, warped sleeve? or score marks in the sleeve should be what your looking for, if theres either then the engine is buggered, if the p/s are in good condition its probably just a tuning issue like TWT said, symptoms sound like a classic case of loss of compression though.

RE: i should have listened
I also had the wasp .28 and mine would do the same thing. It would die right after it got hot and then would not restart. What a waste of money.
