The saga continues...a little background. After last summer's issues she spent the winter getting all fixed up and I got her back from the mechanic in May. Most of the work went to brakes and other stuff but they put a new distributor in and she was running great.
Been out of town most of summer so she sat, put about 100 mi on her. After sitting for a month, she wouldn't start. Cranking good, plenty of fuel in the carb, full choke, full gas pedal, starter fluid, nothing working.
Then I can get her to finally turn over, but need to keep the gas down to keep her running. Next day she starts easier, but still running real rough, coughing and loud.
So today she starts right up, and encouraged I drive her about 10 miles out of town, at 40 mph. As I slow to downshift, she stalls while still moving around 20 mph. I get her started again return to town, and at the first stop sign she dies and won't start. Cranking strong, but won't turn over. Again, plenty of fuel in the carb just won't fire.
So...hard starting, rough running, stalling when I take my foot off the gas. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
