I crank it up and drive it, it warms up and dies. We got it back to the house and noticed that that cyclinder still is not firing. : My dad did a compression test two of the cycinders are alot lower than the other two.
One more thing, excluding the compression problem, I can't tell you how many times I have seen the same simtoms you describe and the problem ended up being a bad coil. When the engine was started after sitting for a while it would run fine but as soon as the coil heated up it would run like garbage. Seen this in cars, lawnmowers, snowmobiles etc...
