Car won't start, car is parked in lot and cannot start Options

[solex]

Hi there my car is stranded in a lot fortunately in walking distance to my house.

Symptoms are that it seems to start and run fin when cold about 10-15 minutes. It will then stall and then I cannot start the car. It does not smell like it is flood (actually cannot smell any fuel) The last time this happened it sat over night and then it started with no problems.

I just changed the points although I do not think that was the problem I had never seen points that were not completely solid contact area the ones installed had a hole in the center so I replaced them.

Thanks,
Dan

quick update.

Thinking it was the fuel filter I replaced it. I have included some pictures for review, turns out that it was not the filter.

Intermittently the fuel pump was not running when the key was put in the run position. I check the voltage, none at the pump replaced the fuese on the relay board and it looked OK was having some difficulty getting a reading on 86/85 so I cleaned everything with CRC.

Car started no problem. Ran it for a while let it sit and it had a slight problem starting again but this time I think it is the battery even thought it started. The starter was cranking very slowly and would then catch. Reading about 11.84 volts without any load. I will recheck the battery but looks like a new one is in the future.

Heard many positive comments about the optima dry cell 34 R but then read the Captains remarks. What is the consensus?

Regards and thanks everyone for the support.
