Joe, Try this if you have a non electronic ignition. Replace the
condenser on the distributor. My Tiger had the same symptoms, It'd run
fine, then randomly sputter and die. it finally died and ended up
getting towed home. I never suspected the condenser 'cause it was only a
year old. Any way, replacing it eliminated the problem.
