Give us some more details- does it do it shortly after starting, ie when still warming up, or after a longer period when fully warm?
What engine, what carburettor?

I have had this fault with a B21 with a Pierburg carb - dirt in float chamber, and/or sticking float valve, also with a B230 with the Cissac carb - icing up caused by electrical heater element failure.

What sort of ignition does it have? Does it have a crank sensor on the bellhousing, or a sensor in the distributor?
