Had a similar problem with my Sunbeam Tiger. It was the ignition condensor.
The car would start fine, but once it warmed up, it would die. Let it sit
until cold, and it would fire right up. Also, an old or defective ignition
coil will exhibit similar symptoms. How old is your coil?
I'd check this first before blaming the carbs- 90% of the time it's the
ignition side of things that acts up
