Sam,
As someone stated previously, if the engine starts without using the
choke the carbs are running too rich. Thus, when the engine warms up
the carbs flood and the engine dies. You should always use the choke
when starting the car, unless it's still warm then you shouldn't need
to. Did you use the choke before having the carbs rebuilt? As you
said, the car had been running good until the work was done.
