Help!!!
Changed all-- electrical,points,cond.,wires ,plugs,roto cap. Will run about 10 minutes and dies. Then wait 3 or 4 mnutes and will start up again and does the same thing. I have tried lots of things with no success. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Is this a gas or diesel? Have you pulled the gas line off at the inlet to the carb? You should have a solid stream of gas there. Not sure if this one has a screen on the inlet of the carb. Check that. Does the coil get hot? After 10 minutes you should be able to hold your hand on the coil. Is the inlet screen to the settling bowl plugged? Just a couple of things if it is a gasser.
 
Also, you might try removing the fuel tank cap. If the vent in the cap has become plugged, it will take about 10 minutes to develop a vacuum in the tank and then no gas can get out.
 
Thanks. It is a gasser. There is no vent in the cap, but there is a tube from the sude of the tank, about 1/16" hole. Is that the vent? Is so, maybe an airhose will help it.
Thanks for your reply.
 
Well guys,I tried the gas vent idea. I removed the cap and let it run, but the engine stalled out again. Then If I wait a few minutes, after I hear the gas go back in the line, it will run another 10 minutes. After it gets really hot, it will noy even start. I am not sure about the gas line, that is my next adventure.
