My Griff 500 runs pefectly most of the time.

A few weeks ago on a warm day after repeated short journeys with the engine hot it would not idle. The revs just drop and it cuts out. It restarts just fine though.

Today again after several short journeys around town, went to shop came out and again it stalls. It stalls whenever you dip the clutch. However leave it for an hour and its back to normal.

The temperature guage is solid on 90, lower at speed, the fans cut in and out, there is no coolant loss so its not related to overheating.

I'm guesing an electrical component that doesnt like the heat or fuelling?

Any ideas-pointers?
