The new wheels and tires look great. Glad to see the top still works, it hasn't been up like that in like 12 years

So, I drove it around the block once it was warmed up. I was going about 40 and it stuttered then came back. Another couple hundred yards and it died after a stop sign. Restarted and I made it home.

So, I’m thinking it felt like a loss of ignition so I added a small 12v battery that I wired directly to the coil so it would eliminate a problem with the ignition switch. I went for another drive close to home.

This time I got a little further, like 3/4 mile, and it died. Crank crank crank and no start. After 10 minutes it started and drove the 1/3 mile up hill home like normal.

I’m thinking coil

When it’s fuel you feel a loss of power that’s not immediate like this. In this case it was more like just turning off the key

Normally I’d say ignition switch but in this case I bypassed it with another battery hot wired to the coil +

I just looked at the engine pics I supplied you with...….that coil on the engine is like 20+ years old. Glenn's 019 was purchased in like 2007 and he had all new parts on it original German Bosch stuff...…..I don't know if he still sells the venerable cast iron distbs. any longer...…….

Nice to see that gear oil is rated for both GL-4 and GL-5 applications.
