The car is able to run for long periods of time. This problem has only happened twice since I've been driving it. Although, I've only put about 4oo miles on it. In general, I think it's running pretty good. The first time, I was driving very slowly (i.e. walking speed) around the pit area of Buttonwillow Raceway (near Bakersfield, CA) checking out all the cool old British race cars. It was a warm/hot day and after idling around for 5-10 minutes, the engine began to lose power, then eventually die. That was a month ago. Last time it happened, I did hear the fuel pump running and I could see fuel in the filter, since I'm using a clear glass fuel filter. A few hours later, I drove the car home (from work), roughly 45 minutes and I didn't have a problem. The temperature was still probably in the 80's.
If there's a fuel problem, it's probably in the carbs.
