As Mr Salter notes, more information would be welcome.=20
However, an initial guess is that your idle speed is too low=E2=80=94should=
of course be adjusted with the engine at nice, warmed-up operating tempera=
ture. If so, the idle can get lower still when the engine gets hot, especia=
lly on a longer drive on a hot summer day, making it prone to stalling espe=
cially if you come to a hard stop.=20
I'd ignore the dubious advice of setting the hot idle at 800 rpm (along wit=
h lots of other "expert" advice out there). My very hands-on experience hav=
ing owned three Healeys (a BN6, BN1, and currently a BN7) is that these eng=
ines prefer an even 1,000 rpm, 900-950 rpm at the lowest. See if that impro=
ves things.=C2=A0
