Looking for help please. driveway mechanic still scratching his head. that would be me.
runs well in driveway. put in water run down the river about a mile starting and stopping, all ok. Idles fine and will jump out of the hole with plenty of power.
continue down the river about 3-5 miles and will start to miss. I try to give a little gas and will not take the fuel. Runs like it is starving. If I go to idle the engine cuts right off. It takes 20-30 mins of col down time and then the engine will start right up and run ok. I have confirmed this on three separate runs as I look at fuel being the problem. I have replaced the carb, fuel pump, removed and cleaned the tank, replaced the fuel line and moved away from the engine. I have replaced the anti siphon valve. the points, cap, wires are 2 years old. Pulled 2 year old plugs and they are fine. they look good nice off white color, no gum or presence of oil or water. all plugs are good and fire.
voltage regulator runs at 14v constant. I am thinking the coil is breaking down. anyone got any ideas??? help please.
