Not the CDI, they either work or they don't.

So it ran OK when you were on it and the engine was cold ?
It starts OK ?
The exup valve works OK and there's a weep weep noise when you first turn the key ?

I reckon its a fuel thing. Could be the filter the fuel stirs up the shit in the filter but it takes a while to partly block it so it runs and warms up then it choacks off. It can also be a kinked fuel hose. A dirty fuel tank blocking the fuel tap use a torch to check for any sediment.
Lastly check the fuel tap is FULLY turned to run use pliers to turn it it breaks if you use a screwdriver.

Have you checked the valve clearances?
If they are tight they can cause running problem when hot.
