Subject:      Weird stalling problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


I am just taking my 85 Westy out of storage and getting her ready for
camping season and have a weird new problem that I can't figure out.  She
starts right up and runs fine for about 3 minutes,  then stalls out and
won't restart.  She just keeps cranking, but doesn't even attempt to fire,
like there is no fuel getting to the engine.  I have confirmed that the fuel
pump is running and that the fuel filter is not clogged.  To make things
even stranger, after sitting for an hour or so she will start right up again
and then die 3 minutes later...  I'm not sure where to begin looking for
solutions, please help.


Thanks in advance,
Jay Brown
