I would first suggest checking that you are getting adequate fuel pressure at the carburettor when this problem occurs. You need around 5 psi. You can buy an inline fuel pressure gauge quite cheaply. For better accuracy use a gauge with a range up to say 15 psi rather than one that goes up 100 psi.
