[TR] Condensor/capacitor question

Hi everyone;

My TR3A demonstrates a fault
that could be as simple as a failing  
condensor. Basically, it loses power
dramatically after about half an hour of  
driving, then eventually fades to
stalling. If I leave it just a few minutes,  
the car will start and run
perfectly for a couple of miles, then we start the  
same cycle again. It
could be many other things, I know, such as dirt in 
the  fuel tank, bad pump,
trouble with SU's, a bad coil, etc., etc.

However, want I would like to do is
make sure I have the problem cured  
while it's in the workshop and before
it's time to take it out of winter  
storage and start driving it. Because of
the nature of my work, I won't have  
time to be working on it once Spring
comes.

I'd rather not replace the condensor and coil, rebuild the carbs, take
out  
the tank and get it cleaned/lined, etc. etc., if I don't need to. I'd
like 
to  start by renewing the condensor, then somehow testing the removed
one to 
see if  that cured it. There's over a foot of snow on the ground now
and 
much more will  be on it's way before Spring, so I'm not driving it to
test it!

Thoughts?
