[Roadsters] 2000 power loss--intermittent

[Rick Stayner]

Next time it dies, just check for spark by pulling coil wire and place where you see it and turn starter. 
  The internal wire for the points could be broken. I hit a bump and my 69 2000 died with this as the cause.
  I believe the wire is still available from Nissan.

  Just had this too. See story on 311s.org site under "Pop Quiz" and see what it turned out to be. It was simple but I thought it was going to be worse.

Morning all. 

I took the 2000 out Saturday for a quick run to see check a few things. 

The car was not running hot but I now need to clean out the brake lines.

However, I have a more pressing concern. This has happened only a couple times 
and (obviously) not every time. When driving down the road I started to lose 
power and the idle was rough (with the clutch in and coasting down the road). 
First time this happened I turned off the motor and let the car sit for a few 
minutes. She started up and was fine. Last Saturday when this happened I pulled 
off the road and didn't shut her down. I just sat for a minute or so then she 
was fine. 

Am I boiling the gas in the line somehow and thus starving the carbs? If so what 
is the fix for this?

Or do I maybe have a clogged filter or crap in the fuel line? This one I can 
deal with. I think.

I wanted to get some input from you folks out there before I started to tear 
into stuff. 

TIA
