I had a m103 that had something jacked up with the ignition coil and kept burning up my cap and rotor. Symptoms exactly like what you are having. New (used) coil and the problem is gone.
These engines are just fancy carburetor engines. Don’t overthink it. Let it warm up and when it stalls, and won’t restart, spray some gas in the intake. That will let you know in 2 seconds whether you have a fuel or spark problem

About two years ago the stock Bosch ignition coil died on me - 0 ohms on all posts(prim/sec). I decided to run it with MSD Street Fire CDI and MSD Blaster 2 coil...and yes, it works and it works well for over two years. I thought well, maybe it's the MSD...and I do have another Bosch ignition coil in my parts bin that I know works well before this stuff happens, put it in, but the hot-start problem still exist...so no, it's not the MSD.
The cap and rotor are of Bosch brand and they are new - less than a month old. The one before that was also a Bosch brand about 2 years old - decided to replace anyway, but problem persisted.
I wish what you're saying was that simple of a solution but unfortunately not in my case.
The only things thats not "new" are the MAS, ECU, EHA, or EZL... won't throw money into this if there's no certainty that it will fix my problem. I bought used "MAS" ECU" and "EZL" but none of them resolved the problem either....it could be that they are defective themselves, who knows.
