Possibly some connection/component failing when hot, for example ignition amplifier, or the coil, or the king lead from the coil making a bad connection. An expert if your best course of action, someone who actually knows WTF it all means. Good luck.

All resolved now thanks to RT Racing - turned out to be a failing fuel pump (despite being new). Seemed to be full of crap already so replaced, along with new fuel pipe that included a pre-filter.

Appears the consistent heat aspect was a red herring - to be fair it was running horribly this morning from cold so probably fuel pump was deteriorating rapidly.
