 I got a problem with my TR6. I just had the engine rebuilt 3k miles ago.
 
 After the break in period the engine runs great. Now when the car is cold it
 
 starts up fine, but when it reaches operating temperature it stalls
 
 repeatedly, sort of like it is running out of gas. I have checked the fuel
 
 pump (pumping 2.5lbs of pressure), ignition(it is getting a good spark). I
 
 am absolutely dumbfounded as to what the problem is. Any insight would help.
 
 My mechanic did say I have some carburetor issues, but nothing that would
 
 warrant this type of problem.

A problem that I had one time similar to what you describe turned out to be 
the gaskets between the air filter and the carb.  I put the gaskets on wrong 
and they covered up some air intake holes.
