    I may suspect a reed being out of sorts. It would be sudden & all at once. Start the motor & hold a piece of stiff paper in front of the carb while running. Look for fuel/air spray back out of the carb opening. If the reed is not seating the compression will go backwards & out the carb. Just a suggestion. Not sure on the electrical problem until I trace all the wires. As old as it is anyone could have messed with the wires & where they go.
