    cdi was going bad on my bro's cr250 did the same thing.

    Usually it would be fine untill 10-15mins like your saying.

    If you have a manual there may be a multi meter test for your cdi.



    Though if it were the cause, its weird that the problem just popped up after your rebuild.

    remove the hts cover and run and warm up bike as usual, once the problem occurs disconnect the linkage at the upper power valve actuating arm and wind the throttle if the bottom actuating arm moves then the problem is in the exhaust valve mechanism you can check this for free movement by physically moving it, may be binding when hot.
    other than that you will have to do the usual back tracking to nail down the fault.reeds, jetting, seals, electrical and vaccum.
    if you have a decomp head check that too.
    hope this helps.
