My 4-cylinder BSA trike (that I sold in 2011) suffered from this problem. It would start well and run just fine until it suddenly died after a random number of miles. Eventually while I was looking at something else I noticed that the coil was incorrectly wired. It was a positive earth set-up and when I fitted a new coil it had been wired incorrectly, a quick swap of the terminals and it was as right as rain.
