Let's see if I can get you some answers.....

Engine--original 216

Will sit and idle all day without a hickup.

Will run at about 40 mph for 1 to 2 miles before missing then quiting.

Have the same problem whether engine is well warmed up or cold.

I just fidget for 20-30 minutes.

When it restarts, it requires a period of cranking with carb at full choke.

I have a fuel filter between tank and pump and one between pump and carb.

I have not checked for fuel in carb or spark when I have the problem.

Thanks for any additional help.
