Just finished building the S Type, running a 186 Mugello V2 taffy copy pipe and a 26mm dellorto, got rough settings from cambridge, was running really reach so put a leaner needle in (x7) and downjetted to a 100 main, runs a hell of alot better, still a little bit spluttery lower down the rev range but ridable, on the way home from work going up a slight hill, she just cut out, pulled over, attempted to kick her over, nothing. played with the fuel tap a bit,(full tank of fuel) it was on reserve (dohh) so put it on the on position choke on, started her up. hey presto, got her home thought i would have a look at the colour of the plug, but the plug was wet through, got a fast flow fuel tap on but i dont think it would affect it much, but could be wrong. other thing im thinking is the atomiser right? any ideas ?

heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it does fail, hit them with it!!!

your carb settings were rough and on the rich side cos of the 268 that they often just fit to ensure safe "running in "without probs ,
i would suggest that you return to all the previous spec but just try a 266
