Bringing back a '73 from a barn. Got her going. She starts great cold, first thing in the morning, cranks right up. She will only run for about 5 minutes and then peters out and won't start until the next morning.

Any thoughts?

I would suspect the head temp sensor. Do an ohms test when warm. It should be around 250 or less. Im assuming this is a djet.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Sounds like it could be Cylinder Head Temp Sensor......

Follow the Anders page and make sure you have all the basics checked out first;
you'll save your self lots of time chasing tails.
You may very well have several problems going on at the same time....thats what I found with my car. It does sounds like you are getting too much fuel and flooding out which is indicative of the CHT being bad.

I'll get the ohm meter out this morning. I'll check the temp sensor and the coils on the pressure sensor and let you guys know.
