[Healeys] BJ8 stalling problem

[Bob Spidell]

My guesses (and only guesses):

1) marginal fuel pump getting heat-soaked and dying
2) vapor lock due to obstruction in fuel line and/or routing past hot component

Is your carburettor heat shield in place and properly insulated?

Recommend you try another fuel pump (you'll need a spare anyway ;)
