Have a 75 650B which I bought new, still looks new, has been run regularly, presently has 32K on it, and has always been garaged and well cared for. Since I took it out of winter storage it starts right away when cold with either the electric or the kick starter and runs great until it warms up (maybe 10 minutes but it varies), then it dies dead. I never had this problem before as it ran perfectly when I stored it. It acts just like I hit flipped the kill switch on, where the engine dies dead and the starter is dead and no spark to the engine so even the kick starter won't fire it up, but all other electrics like the lights, signals and even the neutral indicator work just fine. Since this problem started I put a brand new battery and new alternator brushes, and those are working fine. I thought sure the problem was the kill/stop switch and to be sure I completely bypassed it, and it made no difference. After it dies, I let it sit (have no choice really) for an hour or so, and it starts right up again and runs for maybe 10 minutes and dies again along with the electric starter. It also will not start with the kick starter during this time. Appreciate any input anyone may have.
