Frank you gotta understand I’m a tinkerer not a certified mechanic (wish I was lol) I’m just trying to do the obvious things first. I checked the fire on all the plugs and was getting spark but it was more orange than I liked so I’m thinking maybe a firing problem. It sat up for 40 years before I got it with carbs drained . I took the cover off and looked at the float and bowl and it really looked like brand new. I cleaned the points and distributor cap already. I think I may change the points and plug wires first and then go from there. I DID order a carb rebuild kit and may try that if plug wires and points don’t do it. Thanks for any input I do appreciate it
It's a jungle out there.
