Hi Jeff,
Just wondering how does the exhaust smell while you are running?
I had a triumph Dolomite that I loaned to my then girlfriends father for
the weekend and he had the same problem - car ran fine when it was cold but
cut out when warm. Turned out that he wasn't used to a manual choke and
never pushed it in hence when the car was cold it ran fine, but when it was
warm the mixture was too rich and it cut out.
Let us know how you get on...
Cheers
