marlinjackThe Machinist #5723 AMARGOSA MACHINE 'Running on Empty- Middle of Nowhere'

...Next: I would pull ALL the SparkPlugs for examination. AND Pull Off the Distributor Cap to Inspect the Rotor and The Inside of the Cap for 'Carbon Tracking'! Also, Inspect the High Voltage Cable from the Coil to the Center of the Distributor Cap, Looking for an 'Intermittent Connection' or Short! Since You DO have fuel squirting down the Carb Throats; 'Fuel' Can't Be Your Problem. The Only Other Thing it could be, would be a 'Machanical' Problem; Such as a 'Slipped' Timing Chain, Sheared Distributor Drive Pin, Broken Piston. The list is Near Endless! You'll Have to perform many Intensive Tests to Zero-In on the Cause. An Intermittent Problem is the Most difficult to find!...
