I have a 1.3 sr at the moment and not quite sure whats going on!?

it runs and goes along for about 10 miles then it just cuts out with no indacation that its going to,its just dies.i've tryed keeping revs up ect but it still doesn't want to know?and the more i put on the accelerator when its dieing the slower it goes!
it starts up fine no problems, sounds great when running no rattles bangs ect or leaks that i can see,just brought a battery new plugs ect so it cant be that, i was thinking mabe its something to do with fuel line?

any help appriciated
many thanks:thumb:

Could it be carb icing?

Carbs as fitted to Novas have a tendency to freeze this time of year esp if an open filter has been fitted. It doesnt have to be freezing outside, the windchill in the carb can cause any moisture or even possibly the fuel to freeze.

Could also be a sticky fuel pump, but it is more likely carb icing.
