“29 starts with difficulty,” runs” and sputters irregularly for a minute, then dies. Problem may have existed to a minor degree before head gasket replaced for leak but seems worse now. Spark advance affects it, but not significantly nor consistently, and the engine dies anyway.
I have pulled the distributor, checked gaps many times, and rechecked TDC several times. Replaced the coil because I thought spark was not blue enough. Spark plugs cleaned. Fuel flows easily to carb, Carb was replaced 4 years ago with repro but ran well. I have checked to ascertain that upper shaft fits properly into lower shaft.
Since I thought I checked everything “in the books” to solve the problem, what have I done wrong? -- or what haven’t I done right?
