Red face Re: Whats happening here

Ok left the car idle and varied the speed/timing for 50 minutes. Temp never went above 140-150, I can put my hand on the radiator shroud and its warm, (I do not run a thermostat).

And then it happened after 40 minutes it started to drop rpm's and gradually shut off. Jumped back in and it started right up (as usual). 10 minutes later it did it again, a gradual loss of power, I gave it more gas and it did not like it at all. If the engine was under load this would have been the exact situation I have experienced before. Coil was only warm.

It did not cough through the carb either time but if I would have given it anymore gas it sounded like it wanted to.

I could not pull the coil lead as I'm alone but I sure will tomorrow after I convince the wife its safe . More to follow
