can you hold the dip stick when this happens or is it to hot? thers a good chance that your engine is overheating if it only happens on the hiway. |

I'd be guessing electrical, maybe the coil or condensor? have you checked the points, leads and plugs?

Check the solenoid wire to the left hand side of you carb and distributer wires / HT leads too. If your solenoid wire is loose it will shut off the
fuel intermittently and dizzy wires will prevent adequate spark causing it to miss.

Not that I know the electrics on your buggy, but usually there are no fuses in the ignition circuit. Power goes directly from battery to ignition
switch and directly to the coil.
If fiddling the fuses stops the problem, could it be a short somewhere causing a voltage drop to the coil? Maybe corroded connections doing the
same?
Just a thought.
