I am hoping someone has seen the same symptoms.
I completely rebuilt my engine, and had the carbs rebuilt. The
distributor is new.
I fired it up, and she ran. Wonderful.
Over the past month, I tuned it as best as I could. It was running
fine parked.
Today, I took her out, and she ran very well, for about a mile, then
she started acting up. First, she would not idle, then I had to keep
the rpms above 2000 or she'd stall, but the time I got home, another
mile later, she was barely running.
Now she will not start. I can get her to kick over on starting fluid,
she will sputter and even rev up for a moment, and then nothing I do
with the throttle keeps he from reving right back down to a stall.
She does have old gas, it is quite yellow. BUT when I removed the fuel
line to the carbs, there is plenty of fuel flow from the gas pump. I
do have the return line connected.
I checked the points, fine. The distributor has not come loose. Vacuum
lines are fine.
The only thing I changed was to set the idle up a bit.
The plugs look fine, except a bit sooty at the edges.
I walked away from it, I just cannot figure it out. My next trick will
be to use a separate gas can as a fuel source.
Jim
