That NOS coil has to go. Skips coil is fresh, NOS is as old as I am.

Condenser good guess, cheap fix. Try that.

Plenty of gas? How would you know plenty? Try pulling off the line from the pump to the carb, then crank (key off) to see if it pumps fuel into a can. May be sucking air not gas.

Rebuilt carb? By who with what parts? Could be bad power valve or poor seal for power valve. New valves have a radius that won't seal to the old carbs. Gotta machine that radius square to get a seal.

So he thinks an NOS coil would be better than Skips? What hole did you excavate to find him?
