Default Custom stalls when hot

A buddy has a customer with and S&S 124. It ran fine yesterday but today when it got warm it would stall. after a few minutes it would start again only to stall a few miles down the road. This trend went on for 50 miles, getting back to the hotel.

Any thoughts?

When you say stall, do you mean you still have all your lights/electric working? Just the motor would stall? If you are losing your lights/electric, I would check into bypassing your main circuit breaker by installing a 40amp Maxi Fuse set up.
