Re: Stalling Mk1 update

Don't know if anyone has suggested the warmup regulator as a possible 
problem.  Try unplugging the wires from it and running your test 
again(starting from a cold engine).  Could be that the regulator is bad and 
is cutting off too much fuel as it warms up.  It's possible that some debris 
has gotten in there.  If that seems to be the culprit, you can take it off 
and try shooting some carb cleaner through it, reinstall the lines and try 
again.  BTW, you don't have to mount the regulator to run the engine.

 So after minute three, I turn off the headlights and get out of the car.
 
 Close to running for four minutes, it dies on it's own.
 
 Starts up again without any hesitation. This time it runs for only two
 minutes before dying. After this, I keep starting it, but it only runs for
 seconds before dying.
 
 It's almost as if it is caused by something that is going bad after getting
 warmed up. >>
