The problem still exists, after a new Coil, Fuel sensors, jets in the carbs cleaned, new fuel filter, new vacuum thingy, new fuel pump, high strength magnet on the fuel tank, new leads...new pretty much everything...ARRRGHHHH

only things remain to do is complete overhaul and rebuild of Carbs and new fuel tank as its probably full of crud

Also, have you checked there is a small conical filter in the inlet pipe to the carb?
if its holed or missing you could be getting dirt into the carb
if its in place and good then its not likely that dirt is getting into the carb?

its always possible you have a faulty intemittant connection to the cut off valve ( the one you tested by removing the wire and it clicks), try running a new wire from the coil pos ( black wire) when the garage cleaned the carb they woukd have disturbed it.
