This turned out to be the tank vent line that goes to the charcoal canister had been routed poorly and was contacting the exhaust pipe and had melted shut. Fixed that any everything is fine.<br>

On my wife's 250, we were having a similar problem. The 2 or 3
miles was enough to get on the highway and up to speed.<br>
<br>
Tried all kinds of things. Replaced hoses in the engine
compartment, the coil - thinking it was getting hot and cutting
out. Checked carb diaphrams, fuel filter. <br>
<br>
Finally, we found a rubber hose underneath the car at the back. It
connects the metal line from the tank to the metal line that goes to
the fuel pump. It was soft (probably the original hose) and there
was enough movement in the two metal lines to let the hose crimp and
block the fuel flow.<br>
<br>
Replaced it and it solved the problem.<br>
