From the soundsof your description, it sounds like you said it locked up as you say the engine wouldn't actually turn over until it sat and cooled for awhile. If that's the case, I would bepulling the plugs and looking for aluminum on them, then doing a compression test. Speaking from personnal experience, the early small bore loopers have to be perfect, or else they'reknown to run lean, stick a piston, and lockup. Sounds like ypu had some warning, and you should have let out of it when it 1st lost power on you. If it did indeed not physically turn over, check the cylinders for aluminum as you most likely had a piston stick on you. Now if the engine turned over but just wouldn't fire, then check your fuel and kill circuit out.
