Regards all.  New to the list but not entirely to V'gons, having
pushed the same old '83 water cooled around for the last 15 yrs.

To your question, I had a similar issue ~ a yr and a half ago.  Gave
up quickly on self diagnosis as it had a new filter.  Nursed it to my
local indy who quickly diagnosed and replaced the idle stabilizer.
Symptoms were that it'd die after having been run for a while, restart
and run fine for several minutes after it'd been allowed to cool down
for a bit.  Been fine since.  Dunno that I'd have ever figured it out.
 I'm assuming of course that your '89 has similar idle control
circuitry.
