Tom,
Just out of curiosity, before all this happened, would you have pulled the =
float bowl cover off and not refitted it with the serrated washer in its ri=
ght spot. I had similar situation happened to me several years ago and that=
 was my pfonlrm.

Subject: [Healeys] The single most confusing engine shutdown problem ever!

Was our driving a while back, engine purring, and suddenly she shut down.  =
Let it sit for a while and she would start and run for a while--then shut d=
own again.  I tried many fixes which I will list below.  Several times afte=
r the fixes she went for miles and miles and I thought I had "fixed" it.  N=
ope-----yesterday----it was AAA tow time once again (3 times this year).

The last 2 shutdown times came when she was idling waiting for a light or f=
or a car to pass.

So here is what I have tried:  * new coil  * new voltage regulator  * new f=
uel pump  * New ignition switch  * Blew out the fuel lines * pulled float b=
owls and cleaned them (no debris inside)  * Pulled the distributor plate ou=
t and cleaned and oiled it  * disconnected the wire leading from the batter=
y cutoff switch to the coil. * bypassed the entire battery cutoff switch * =
replaced the Pertronix with a new one  * checked all the sparkplug wires to=
 make sure they were on properly  *  replaced the distributor rotor *Replac=
ed the distributor cap . * checked the small ground wire inside the distrib=
utor to make sure it was attached properly.

 All this----and STILL o joy.  I'm really out of ideas at this point.  If a=
nyone has any ideas for me to check please share them.

Thanks
Tom
