About a year ago, the engine would not work and so I sent it out for repair which was diagnosed as an E-unit problem.  A new E-unit was put in.  The engine operated quite well for a year of intermittent use until today where it simply stops and I have to depress the direction control to get it running again.  This happens periodically once the engine has been running briefly.  I tried separate track lines and separate transformers and the phenomenon repeats itself.  Any suggestions?

For some reason, maybe weight, these lever-down E-units tend to have the lever loosen up on the pivot. In the above case, first check to see if the lever is in just the right position where it's about to shut off. Check to see it is firmly in the "on" position.

 

If it doesn't seat well in the "on" position, the rivet has loosened up and needs to be re-peened - a process that really isn't for the home repairman w/o the right anvil/tool.
