Driving & then COUGH COUGH & Died..10 min later start & Fine..& Died again.

I had a similar problem with my 28. It would run then spit and sputter and die. if i was lucky it would fire back up after a few minutes and let me get part of the way back home and usually die again. then one day it wouldnt start after it died. It turned out to be the condensor. i went through a lot more trouble then i needed too to figure that out. Changed the condensor and now it runs just fine. The heat from the motor got to the condensor, which i have heard is fairly common for older condensors.

Might not be the problem but it doesnt hurt to check and it is very cheap and simple to replace

I had the same problem with my car. I rebuilt the carb and did most of what has been suggested here. Eventually I traced it to an intermittent fault in a replacement ignition switch. Replaced the switch and no problems since . Good Luck Karl
