The first day I drove my 3A it ran very well until one moment it started to  
skip badly, so I pulled over and shut it off.  Without even getting out and  
opening the bonnet I waited a minute or less, fired her up and drove home  
fine.  Sunday I drove about 50 miles and found out I don't get as good  mileage 
as 
I thought as the same symptom returned, only this time I ran out of  gas.  
Walked to the gas station, got gas, fired her up, and drove home  fine.  
Later on that day I was driving and had the same symptoms as the first  time. 
 Ran well, then badly, stalled, pulled over, waited 30 seconds,  started and 
drove away.  Ten minutes later it happened again, same  thing.  My first 
instinct is that there is something in one of the float  bowls that eventually 
finds its way to obstruct gas, car runs poorly, shut  it off, and whatever it 
is 
floats away from being a nuisance and then  returns.    
I opened my floats tonight and although I found crud, which I cleaned out,  
there was nothing that would tell me my diagnosis was correct. 
Ideas?  It certainly is behaving like a fuel problem.
