i posted a few days ago about a morris minor i had bought in my village.....i have been driving it around the village happily but there is a problem! after 6 miles or so it starts to hesitate,,splutters a bit, limps along abit then stops! if i leave it 20 minutes she will start up again and run fine for a while before doing it again...
she has had new points, plugs, condensor, petrol pipe.....
she was sitt ing on a drive for a while not driven..

Does the petrol pump run? You should be able to hear it ticking. It sounds like starving of fuel to me.

I take it that this is the same problem that you've got posted under "mechanical" - see some ideas there as well
