throttle dropping back too far?
not sure on the petrols, but the diesel has an idle setting screw as well as an anti stall screw that will overide the idle setting if required
or maybe its one of those new fangled commers with stop start technology.
it will help if you let us know what engine / carb combination you have - and does your fuel line run near anything hot?

I'm with Lee on this one, happened to Babs a few times, I found the throttle idle screw on the side of the carb had unwound itself a little bit, always seemed to happen exactly as you describe it, seemed to tick over ok but a drop in revs after running usually resulted in the engine cutting out. The two lights are warning lights for oil pressure and ignition live. They only come on because 1. the engine has stopped and as such the oil prssure drops and 2. the ignitions still on.
try turning the screw up, (clockwise will increase engine idle speed). So with the engine idling, stop turning when the idle speed increases, only small ammounts though, no more than 1/4 turn then wait and listen. It'll sound right if that makes sense...

could be several things really......could be heat causing the problem - worth re-routing the fuel line away from 'hot' areas, i think originally the fuel line sits on top of the engine, get a longer fuel pipe and route it right round infront of the rad.....could be the idle jet in the carb is blocked with 'snakeskin' - take the top half of the carb off and blow the jets through with a bike pump with a football nozzle attached......if you havent got one already fit at least one in-line fuel filter...is the fuel pump working properly? - take the fuel pipe off the carb and crank the engine to see if fuel is pumping through? ....that''ll do to begin with

When i travelled to my mates house(about6 miles) my commer was fine, my mate checked the gas for me and wired the fridge up ready to put a relay switch on next week. We were there for about 2 hours, then travelling back we had the engine cutting out. Where can i find the carb and the fuel wire.
