I have been driving my 28 roadster a lot lately. Not long trips, but around town on errands and the like. It always starts instantly and runs great. This morning I took it out and parked it for about an hour. I came back and it wouldn't start. Finally it started and ran okay. Then after driving about a half a mile, it started missing at higher RPM. I had real trouble getting up a hill, with some backfiring and the like. I made it up the hill and it started running better and then ran great the rest of the way home. i turned it off and tried to start it again and it it fired right up. What does that sound like? I have a good quality condenser from Bratton's installed. Gas in sediment bowl looked fine.
