Re: Boat Anchor
Sarcasm aside......
Is this problem a recent development? Or has it always been this way?
First, is it a low power issue, or something keeping the car from coasting freely? ( See post #2)
I would start diagnosing by cleaning the fuel screen, and verifying good fuel flow at the carb.
Next, I would use a screwdriver or some such instrument to short the spark plugs, make sure it's hitting on all 4, that's also the time to verify good hot spark, if I get a good solid arc 1/8" or more I'm happy. If not, check the points. ( Don't do this step with fuel everywhere from the first step, for obvious reasons.)
Next, pull the spark plugs and look, is it running too lean? Too rich? Are the plugs varnished? Clean and gap or replace as needed.
That's how I would start, and proceed depending on what I found there.
Good luck!
