KonK out under load

Hi, Anyone know what might be going on with my T2... perfect on a short
trip but on a hot day on a motorway for example when the engine is running
hot & the van's under load it will start juddering - and then konk out.
After letting the engine cool - It will get me a few more miles down the
road. I've had the points adjusted & the jet cleaned on the carb & it's
not backfiring so i don't think (although i'm no expert by a long way)
that it's the condenser. Please let me know what else it might be?!

Easy test: As soon as it Konks, crank engine and check the spark
at the Hi-tension lead. If no spark or weak, suspect the
condensor or the Coil.

Also, have a voltmeter or 12V test lamp handy. Check for 12V
at the Coil (+) terminal (Blk wire). If no 12V, the Ignition
switch may be open circuit when hot.
