Running problems

[jedijeff]

Hi, I have a 1980 t25 devon 2 air cooled Automatic with 69k. Had a couple of issues with the van just cutting out and not starting. Over the last 3 months I've had to have the dreaded breakdown men out 3 times. I've spent a small fortune on full service , fuel pipes/filters replaced. It's a bit of a mystery it will run fine with no signs of anything, start on the first turn. Just done a weekend vdub meet. Then yesterday I gave her a run to work all was well then on my way home a mile into the journey I pull up at some lights and she just stopped and would not restart. Numerous attempts failed and I was taken home. Tried van when I got home and she started but then stopped after a minute. Tried again this morning with no gain. Any help would be much welcomed as I feel I'm throwing money at her all the time and not solving the problem.

Electrical or mechanical fuel pump?

You say it cut out at some traffic lights.

Is it normally cutting out when it is idling ?
