ok i will try and help you.ok the car will idle for 30 seconds and then die i would say thats fine it just the bottom is a little rich and the motor is filling up with fuel causing it to die just blip the throttle ever 10 seconds or so to clean it out. and the reson it keeps dying could be worn motor. tuned incorrectly and yes getting hot to lean on top. how old is the car. check the bolts int your cooling head and see if they are tight you could be getting a air leak that will make any engine run bad.and for the moving part if it sets up a week and wont go its probly incorrect tuning. first check all your bolts around cooling head,carb and the back plate and then get it running let it get to running temp and then tune it if this dosent work let me know what its doing.
