There you go. Quite alot of things have been disconnected, and wires that need cable tying.

This one really has me stumped. Not the fuel lines, I've checked for leaks, and resolved them. The old knackered pump has been replaced.
It runs like a dream for about 5mins, then there is a sudden loss of power. I don't know if it me thinking this, but there also seems to be pretty think grey exhaust fumes also.

Any ideas?

If it were a carb issue. Surely it would have a constant lack of power? :S

The float chamber breather pipes arn't open to atmosphere, hence once the engine warms up there is pressure in the float bowls and a drop in the fuel level and a corresponding weakening of the mixture.

Currently sat in it. I turn the ignition, it starts. As soon as I put my foot anywhere near the throttle, it stalls.
