[T3] Rocks in a tin can sound

[crash 69]

Hello everyone,

I checked ignition and all is well.  There seems to be fuel, carbs are
squirting.  But, after it sat for a couple of hours, it fired right up and
proceeded to die before running for 5 minutes.  But, it ran great those five
minutes.  What do you think?  Vapor lock?  It's a nice, cool day here in
Nebraska.  Again, it cranks but won't fire.

Confused,
Dan
