I have had issues before a bit like this.
The engine will start and idle just fine. When you accelerate the engine wil stop.
The problem I found was that the main jet in the carburettor was blocked.
If this is your problem you will need to take the top off the carburettor, remove the brass jet at the bottom of the float chamber and blow through it. Just your breath will normally clear it. Compressed air certainly will!
You shouldn't use anything hard like wire to clean the hole.
That was the problem I had. It is a bit similar to yours.

BUT

if you get a light on for the ignition when you turn the key, the engine should run and the car should drive.
If you think the problem is electrical then check ALL the connections.*
Battery
Starter
Coil
Distributor
High tension leads at coil, plugs and distributor.

I'm not sure how the ignition can start and stop then start again apart from a loose connection.
Which brush did you change?



*thats off the top of my head. Cleverer people may be able to give more advice.


I can see also see that you have told us of a battery going flat. That would explain your red ignition light being on but the car not starting. Check the connections first, it's a lot cheaper than a new battery!

It could also be dirt/loose rust in the fuel tank. The car will start and run fine initially, but as the petrol is sucked out of the tank into the fuel pipe through a small gauze strainer, the loose debris in the tank gets pullled up around the filter, eventually blocking it and thus cutting off the fuel supply. The engine then stops, and eventuially the pressure in the fuel pipe falls, allowing some of the debris in the fuel tank to fall away from the gauze filter. This then allowws a little bit of petrol though to the engine. The car will then restart, but doesn't run far before losing power and conking out.

To immediately cure the problem you have to disconnect the fuel pipe between the tank and the fuel pump, at the fuel pump, and blow down it. This pushes away the debris from the filter, but only temporarily. However if this gets the car running for longer, you then know that this is your problem. Then you will have to take the fuel tank off and rinse it out.

I spent ages trying to work out why my old loading shovel keeps stopping due to fuel starvation. And we always ended up blowing down the fuel pipe to listen for the bubbles in the tank, just to make sure it hadn't run out of diesel. And it always starts afterwards. So I am going to try and clean it out with a magnet, either on the end of a telecope, or on a rod and a piece of string, before I attempt to remove it.
