Check for spark, take number 1 ignition lead off, stick a screwdriver in the end and sit it next to a bolt. Crank the motor and it should spark from the screwdriver to the bolt.
If not, you'll be chasing a spark issue. Ignition Module on the side of the dizzy or the Coil are 2 culprits.

Usually when the TFI module dies, it is completely dead and not intermittent, but you never know until you test it. Not sure how to do that, but I am sure someone knows. The coil could be on its way out and failing under heat. Easier to replace the coil then TFI module, so if you can borrow a working one to swap, then give that a shot.
