My 230 starts right up and runs fine for about 30-40 min, but then it shuts off. Then the engine will crank but wont turn over. Come back later and she'll start and run again for about 30-40 min. What could be wrong?
 
When it quits next time immediately check for spark quality. Should be bright blue & "snappy" able to jump at least a ¼" gap. Poor or no spark = coil &/or condensor problems.

My new Super C will sometimes just randomly die. Sometimes after running for 10 minutes, sometimes after running for 30 minutes. No sputtering, usually just like you pushed the ignition switch in. Though unlike yours, it fires right back up and runs fine again until it dies the next time. Have you felt your coil at all when this happens? Does it get really hot? I just put a new coil on mine, going to do plugs/wires/cap & rotor/points & condensor next. It looks like it hasn't had a tune up in quite some time..hoping that takes care of it.
 
Run it until it quits,then pour cold water over the coil and try starting. If it starts you just diagnosed the coil as the problem.
 
My Super C does that if I don t open the fuel shut-off fully.I was always amazed that it would take so long to happen.maybe you can pull the choke when it dies to rule out fuel.Jeff
