Brian,
I had a similar "starvation" problem with a Bugeye and my 100 BN1, when the=
 vent in the gas cap was clogged. The car would run fine for about 8-10 min=
 then die. Wait a bit and it was fine for another few miles. When I removed=
 the gas cap, I could hear air rush into the tank, as I had pulled a slight=
 vacuum...?

BN1, BN7
