Went down for another session to revisit the engine issue. When I twisted the gas cap off, I heard the distinct hissing sound of air rushing in.
So it was a vacuum issue in the tank. Now all the symptoms added up - the engine dying after a short period, but then running after resting a bit.
I had removed the extra DIY gaskets from the cap because they looked ragged. Could some debris have found their way into the vent hole. Where is the vent hole anyway?
I tried loosening the cap a bit and went for another ride around the block, but same thing happened.
Finally, just switched the cap with Roxy's to test - and she ran perfectly. So it's definitely the cap. Just need to figure out where that vent is and then clear it.
Also checked the odo against a phone app and found it was dead on!! Seemed accurate down to 0.01 mile.
