hi guys
please help , my m201 has been playing up for a long time now ,when cold it starts great - runs sweet no smoke pulls well
after a mile or so starts missing , then dies - it will turn over fast not a fire - ( at this time i am pulling my hair out ) i remove distro cap and look inside ( i have changed coil , condenser , points , before ) all looks ok
reinstall cap , starts straight up , a few seconds of random missing , then clears runs perfect
let it run about 5 mins , press throttle cuts out straight away ( will not start again )
leave it 1/2 hour starts up first time
i have had a carb kit put in , still the same
cleaned fuel filter
replaced all the leads
seems like something is getting hot and breaking down
anyone got any ideals
many thanks
m201 keeps cutting out

Re: m201 keeps cutting out
Hi you didn't mention which distributor you have. Mine has a conventional distributor I had a similar problem and it was an intermittent condenser. I know you said you replaced this part but some times NEW means Never Ever Worked. Try to determine if it is a fuel or ignition problem even though you rebuilt the carb and tuned it up. Hope this helps. Don't give up.
