Just back from IOW rally on my series 2 original engine. Had a few problems same thing each time after about 5 miles she just stops, actually it happened 4 times not seized as still kicked over but wouldn't start put in new plug started went then 5 miles approx stopped again some lads even tried bumping no go waited 10 minutes or so started first time then approx 5 miles stopped.I think it got just to hot have you or any of the lads got any ideas

The old fuel cap blockage comes immediately to mind.
