Ayuh,... Sounds like a Fuel Delivery issue....

It could be anything from the tank, to the carb, or All of it...

Thank you bond-o That's what i thought at first so i have already replaced the tank and fuel hose and had the carb rebuilt. i was thinking maybe one of the coils is bad and acts up when the motor warms up or the switch box. what do you think about one of those?
