I finally got my 34 back together enough to be a yard driver, the 59ab was running perfect but very suddenly developed a skip and and low power. I'm running a Bubba built crab dist, Conn Ken rebuilt carb and pump. gas tank is new Bob Drake and gas line is new. I,m running on 12v with new coil with built in resistor. Feels like a fuel issue. After what seemed like for ever to get fuel up to the carb bowl it started and ran flawless for about two or three laps around the pasture and then started this problem. It seems OK when first started but once the engine is warm it begins. Also will sputter at idle but mostly under load. Any thoughts? Ken
