All of the above. Gas cap is easiest, check it first. Additionally, check for a clogged fuel filter, happened to me before.

Check icing on the carb next. Don't have that problem in the sunny south, so I can't help a bunch

Go to fire. Do you have any when it is hot and shut down? If not, likely the coil. It will start again when the coil cools. I assume that you also changed the condenser when you changed the points. I change condensers and clean points.

Got fire, check the gap on the intake valve, both valves while you have the cover off.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
