When you stop the engine stops and then refuse to start. When you take out a spark plug it spark very poor. I think the make and break points is in good condition and there is enough petrol in the carburetor. I wonder if it can be the condenser.

Yes it could be the condenser they tend to fail when they are hot. Also check to make sure the breaker plate inside the distributor is grounded.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken
