Please see Questions and Answers for some topics that frequently appear on this board. As you can see, this board loads rather slowly. If you are posting something for sale, please remember to include your location since someone who might otherwise be interested might not be able to use a part or a vehicle that is too far away. Posting your location when you're selling something that needs to be hauled will save everyone's time (and reduce the number of posts on this already too-slow message board). Thanks.

1st I would agree not enough information. Once a engine is running it only need spark-air-fuel to keep running. (Ok I know about compression, oil, timming ect) But since engine re-starts cold then I'll stick the the top 3. Unless choke is closing then you have air. If coil overheats then you have no spark. easy check with a timming light-no spark-no flash. That leaves fuel. Look for fuel line colapsing-fuel line too close to exaust system and boiling fuel causeing vapor lock. In correct float level adjustment or stuck float in carb. Remote but possible hi-speed jet bad or trash in carb. If you blow out the fuel lines and that cures it then you have trash in the fuel tank. Fartherst possible cause is no vent in fuel tank. I would look close though at the fuel line too close to the exaust since it happins when you reach operating temp. Don't forget the damper in the exaust manifold. Bill
