Last weekend was the first 'real' drives our car has been on since it was assembled. Previous to this I had only driven it around town.

I put roughly 100 miles on it over the weekend and it was roughly 90* outside, it also happened to be the hottest days I had driven the car.

I never saw steam, and the radiator is still full.

At the end of the 25 mile 1 way drives if I were to push in the clutch for a stop, or to take a turn the car would stall. It would also stall if I pushed in the clutch just to coast. It has never done this before. The sediment bowl is clear, the filter in the carburetor is clear.

The car would immediately restart, but not idle. If I was coasting and let out the clutch it would also immediately restart.

What should I look at to troubleshoot?

The entire ignition system and wiring is new in the last year.
