okay HH back to 115
looked at plugs a little sooty but not bad indicates a rich setting.. fired her up again with a little ether belive it or not she ran for about a minute before dying..that means she was geting fuel for bit before she died... we know tht the pump in working ( fuel from pump to carb as it was pissing when tested a few weeks ago.. my suspicion is that it is a carb issue maybe sticking float o needle.. your thoughts ( fuel starvation)

i hve a guy feeling it may be the coil..ive read several blogs and bad coils or hard starting are indicative of a coil going bad..this coil is the old type with the cable going to the back of the coil it has been on my car for 30 years...I touched it an hour ago and it was warm to touch. the symptoms of coils going bad are hard starting ( which it has in the past..and mises and backfires...Well there was a rough idle last night before the test drive and then a Big Backfire before I started the test down the road

ive read other blogs about bad coil or coils going bad. They can stop working if they overheat. and will start working again when they have coooled down.. another indication of a bad coil are misses and BACKFIRES...WHICH IT DID ONCE (Backfire a big one) before I began the test drive last night
