Subject: 2.0L runs fine cold (5min.)then stalls

Hi,
can anyone point me in a direction for the aid of my air-cooled 2.0?  it
starts fine when cold but after idling or driving for 5 or so minutes, it
stalls out.  after it cools for a few mins. it will start (sputteringly)
back
up again.  but for a shorter span of time.  trying to restart it right away
is futile.  The only thing that will keep it going is if you keep the revs
over about 3k and then it will stay running but you can hear it
intermittantly missing but i cant tell if it is a fuel miss or an ignition
miss.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I found that I had a couple vac leaks.  One was the small vac. hose
controlled device in the air box and the others were some hard (or soft)
hoses that were not sealing.  This was on a 1978 Baywindow Camper.
