Question? Have you when it cuts out checked to make sure it's still getting good fuel flow or checked to see if it still has good spark?

Thank you and yes the fuel flow is good also have just replaced the spark plug spark plug. The air filter is good new piston and rings as well. I have cleaned the carburetor and checked the oil is getting through. My other thought was it might be the auto choke could this be a problem ?

thanks

No I do not think it is your ENRICHER, the enricher feeds extra fuel when cold and cuts off the extra fuel after about 3-5 minutes. It if was the ENRICHER it would cause it to bog with to much fuel if it was not cutting off the extra fuel.
It could be the Gas Tank is building up pressure and stopping the fuel from flowing. Try this Crack open the Gas Cap and see if that solves the cutting out.

It sure sounds like a fuel delivery problem by the way have you adjusted the AIR RATIO MIXTURE it may be running to lean.

Here is how to adjust the CARBs mixture:

Thanks for that and will try that

thanks for the correction in England we use the word CHOKE

definitely not a fuel problem, could it be the choke/enricher or an exhaust problem?

I had the same problem after i installed a 70 bbk, have you done such thing or installed a performance pipe or performance air filter or messed about with the tuning of the carb?

If the fuel tank cap is venting properly it may just be the automatic fuel valve is shutting down from loss of vacuum
