Re: fuel issue or carburetor issue?

I opened up the distributor cap and everything in there is practically brand new. I found out that they rebuilt the entire thing about 10 years ago just prior to my grandfather dying.

This started even before I put in a rebuilt fuel pump so I'm thinking that wasn't the issue after all.

When I rebuilt the carburetor, I now remember that there was an extra part that for the life of me I couldn't figure out where it went. It was a little b.b. looking thing. Almost like a ball bearing. I just read in a post somewhere that the little ball bearing most likely fell out of the carter starter thing? I don't know if that could cause this issue?
