[QUOTE="craigb93, post: 86935, member: 4541"] Mine has done that before. Start with checking the point gap. Next a new condenser. Be sure the governor has the correct oil level. Plan at some point to pull the fuel tank and get the years of accumulation out of the bottom of the tank. The 'fuel filter' is a metal screen so removing and blowing it clean backwards is all that is needed, not a new one. After that buy ethanol free gasoline. If the fuel pump ever falters replace it with an electric such as a Carter P 4070. The mechanical pumps wear the cam eccentric to the point that little pump stroke is left even if the pump is good. Bad part is the pump diaphragm material seems to get really brittle from ethanol fuel. Mine can sit for a week or two or three and start effortlessly after the electric pump comes to pressure. In my experience the factory carburator float level setting is ~1/16" too low for good start and run. More than you wanted to know. -Dick [/QUOTE]
