Welcome to Ninjette.org, Scott !!!
An engine that stalls in traffic is a real hazard !!!
You must be methodical about eliminating possibilities, or you will be chasing your tail for weeks.
Considering things that grow with temperature:
Does the engine rotates freely after it quits?
(Worn rings/scratched cylinder wall cannot keep lubricant film and over-heat and expand until locking the piston or cylinder's cooling problems)
Do all the valves have the proper gap?
(Kill compression when hot-stem grows and lacking cold gap)
Does the pick up coil have the proper gap?
(Too close to the rotor when hot)
Do sparks jump after the engine quits?
(Sensitive to temperature CDI or coils)
Is the level of fuel inside both bowls per specs?
(Less intake air when hot = Over-rich mix)
