I believe he said the carb parts fixed it, wasn't the ignition.Lorna c wrote:fuel line plugging or slowing the fuel ? does it kinda flutter before and during ? check tank and lines in and out going . those start to clog and the pump can't feed the carbs with what it needs and it will do this same thing . good luck I'm battling headlights blowing my fuse today ,and all week . I only wanted led lights and now I'm tearing everything out trying to find my short .
Well done linear diagnosis, and as a bonus, EVERYTHING else has been checked.

Re: Ignition Misfire
Dumb question - Have you swapped the fuel filter? I recently had a similar issue at highway speeds. Swapped the fuel filter and it went away. Turns out I've got 52 years worth of sediment to clean from the tank whenever I can get around to dropping it.
