 Just got my first Westy and it wasn't runnning when I picked it up, not my

> enough fuel while in 2 gear pretty regularly and then the other day (while
> in 2nd gear) it jut died, so I pulled off and tried to start it....nothing
> on the first and second try, no gas at all....then 3rd try started right
> up.  Now running like nothing ever happened.  My mechanic can't get it to
> re-create the problem.  Any suggestions or advice, similar experiences
> anyone.  I don't want to get stranded.
