I've had similar issues and looked at and changed every part you talked about nothing helped till I put a different plug wire on it , would let it run at idle and part throttle but crap out above half throttle ! just a thought

I tried another plug wire already. Forgot to mention that... I didn’t open the points cover yet. Maybe I should check that too and see how the points look. Thanks for the ideas guys.

Well I swapped the condenser, replaced the points (they looked pretty bad) and thought I found the problem because the points were rusty looking. Still the same issue. So I went back to the fuel system. Pulled everything back apart. I found a piece of rubber stuck in the outlet hole of the sediment bowl. It came from the fuel line fitting I think. So I’m going to have to replace that, and then I think I’ll be good to go. It allowed fuel to come through but I think it blocked it enough to be a problem. There’s nothing else it can be. I’m either going to replace those fittings or switch to a petcock and soft fuel line. In other news, the drive shaft has a wobble in it when the engine runs, and it causes a vibration. So once the engine is resolved I will have to move on to the drivetrain.

Good to hear you got it running, those rubber sleeves tend to fall apart and cause your issue...

Don't jump ahead... it's not running yet, I need to pick up some supplies to rebuild the fuel delivery system. Though, I'm pretty confident you'll be correct in that I got it running. :biggrin2:

Problem solved. She runs great now and does not stall!
