These carbs are prety reliable, check other things before fitting a new carb, dirty fuel filter in tank, split cracked fuel hose, impulse hose cracked or not connected, piston condition,clean and rebuild carb with new diaphrams, tank breather.

goes ok till it gets warm then struggles,picks up and dies etc,its like a split fuel line or ignition unit on the way out,had a good check over but cant find anything

 

Have you taken off the exhaust and looked at the piston to make sure there is no scoring present?

Pretty much my thoughts as well - and it sounds like it could be the tank vent. If it helps to open the fuel cap when it is acting up, it is the vent, if not it isn't.

well iv had it all apart,piston and barrel are mint,not done a lot,checked the impulse pipe etc,its all good,interesting thing that popped up though was when I took the cover at the bottom of the carb of the tank breather just kind of fell out,it goes back in although it would probably come loose where it plugs into the tank,reckon this could be my problem ??
