Weber 32/36 progressive carburettor is fitted and as above once its warmed up it dies. Then won't start, any ideas?

Well it has a Webber so we know it is petrol.

If it has an auto choke then it is screaming air leak.

Good guess. Its a air cooled 2 Lt petrol

Check the above as Kev says, but could also be leaning out so maybe worth having the air/fuel mixture checked too.

Is this a new fault - perhaps when Webber installed?

I ask because a few months ago I recall a thread whereby the thermoswitch circuit was connected to idle cut off valve. When van reached temperature, the thermostatic switch circuit turned the power off and the idle cutoff valve switched off too.

Unless something has changed, I.e you have worked on that aspect, it won't be that but I thought I would throw this out there on the off chance you have been tinkering.
