Has this car ever stood for any length of time, my father used to tell us
about his first car doing the same thing, turns out that the car had stood
under a tree unused for a few years and a seed or something had fallen into
the uncapped filler neck, this would occasionally plug the fuel line.
Apparently took him months to work out what the problem was because it would
dissapear as soon as you switched the motor off....
