Hi Frank,
It may well be something to do with the carburettor but, if this ends up being all OK, it may be a dodgy coil. I remember 40+ years ago my dad's RM saloon kept running for about 20 minutes before stopping dead as if it was fuel starvation. After messing about with the carburettor for a bit - cleaning jets etc. it would start and run fine for a bit before repeating the process. We drove home about 200 miles in about 20 "stages" like this.
In the end it proved to be a dodgy coil which was over heating. Our frequent stops and fiddling about in the wrong area gave it time to cool down and for everything to appear normal for a while.
Don't know if that helps at all?
Best wishes,
Nick
