hi
sounds silly but have you checked all the jets in the carb and made sure plenty of petrol is going into the float chamber

my girl friend had a similar problem, car started and ran and died in a matter of seconds. had a look at it, good fuel pressure through the jets and it sparked and timing was correct. the problem was a loose wire at the fuse box (white wire top left of box). might be worth just checking the connections at the fuse box.  matt |

When it runs does it die slowly or does it just cut out  N |

Just remembered a mate of mine Had the same problem,he found that the main + lead from the battery to the starter had worn back leaving bear wire and was shorting out on the exhaust manifold.
