RUN TO A STOP AND SHE STARTED AGAIN OK AND REVVED FREELY BUT AS SOON AS I STARTED TO MOVE OFF THERE SHE WENT AGAIN CUTTING OUT.SHE WILL GO HALF A MILE OR 20 YARDS WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND I CANNOT DECIDE IF ITS ELECTRICAL OR FUEL. IT TOOK ME AGES TO GET BACK HOME, TEMPERATURE OK, NEW AIR FILTER, PLUGS ALL OK ,ITS NOT MISS FIRING JUST SLOWS AND STOPS. A FRIEND HAS SUGGESTED IT COULD BE THE CONDENSER. ANY HELP WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED OF WERE TO LOOK FIRST. THANKS, PAUL.

the sporty is the carb model, and i have checked the plugs and leads, it has a new airfilter. someone asked if it had recently run out of fuel and the answer is yes.i understand there is a fuel filter somewhere near the carb but i cannot see anything that i think could be it, anyone have any ideas please.
