Gents,
 
I have a 1960 Bugeye. Starting sputtering a bit recently but yesterday it got 
much worse on a 20 mile drive. Started to pop and sputter and lose power. 
Pretty good on flat roads but even on a minor grade it would hardly move. 
Limped it to a friend's house. We checked and re-set the points, no 
improvement. If I let it sit for a while it runs okay for maybe a mile and then 
problem gets bad again. Can't really drive it far or it is going to leave me 
stranded. I'm thinking a fuel delivery problem, pump or carbs. Would appreciate 
any thoughts from folks here. 

Many Thanks!

Steve Williams
