I removed the ballast resistor and found it had been getting hot so I replaced it.
Ran the wagon for 20 miles and never shut off.In my case,it was a faulty ballast resistor.

===============================================
The ballast resistor Does get hot, because it is a resistor.
I had one that was getting
bright red hot, and found that my
coil was more of the problem. Replaced coil, then started good.
