Technical question

Hey,

I wasn't sure where to post this question because I don't know if I have an electrical problem or a fuel problem. I'm leaning towards electrical. Anyway, here goes.

After Pea's been running for about 15 minutes she will stop. By the time I say, What the hell? She kicks back on. Same RPM. I don't lose any power. It'll happen if I'm sitting at an idle or cruising down the road at 45 miles per hour. It only happens once. After that, she runs smooth as glass. She had a tune up about 9 months ago. New plugs, new points....the whole shebang. It started about 2 months ago.

Has anyone had this happen to them? I have a feeling it will get worse over time so I'm trying to figure out where to start looking.

Thanks
