I had this.. after a while when left to idle it slowly dies... Turned out to be a manifold leak for me.some begger had stolen my locating rings

mite be wrong.. but im sure phil has the most excellent explanation!

more than likely.........lol

It's not running really rich and fouling the plugs is it ? have you removed the plugs after it stalls and checked them ?
Will it drive at all ? or does it cutout if you give it any throttle ? is it just dying if you leave it idling ? can you keep it running with throttle ?

Phil. :grin:

Mine does a similar thing (or it did in the cold), even when up to temperature, it would idle slower and slower and eventually die. Never did bother finding out why, don't think its doing it in the cold.
