    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>
