Sounds like a plugged fuel line......not getting enough fuel to sustain higher loads traveling. Have you done Dan's fuel line mod? |

is there oil in car does gauge work/hooked up? 1.clean carb or have someone do it. 2.replace exterior filter ( if you have one ) from carb. 3 remove tank line to fuel pump. 4. install a rubber fuel line long. 5..safely (w/good fire extinguisher) away from home/garage temp put a metal fuel can. with that rubber hose into it, some where in engine compartment that is sturdy (as in it wont fall over ) use 1 -3 cups of gasoline. 6. have garden hose handy incase there's a major problem. 7.have a motor head there 2help you. 8.start run/can you see the gas getting lower.. or no (fuel pump issues then ). if it does then someone put duck feathers (or a sock) in your gas tank they will swell up and clog the fuel lines then after resting fuel will flow until the swell/clog again. |

My understanding is there is supposed to be. It cools the winders down.

Classic failed coil. Very rare, but that is exactly where I would look. CJ |
