Update rough engine....tried it all..

Inspected: fuel lines, gascolator / carb fuel line screens, mags, plugs / leads, muffler baffle blockage, compressions, intakes for leaks....

Turns out the card was running lean. Local shop suggested sending to Burlington, NC for evaluation. Confirmed running lean so I now have overhauled carb on the engine and is running great.

FYI carb had accumulated 1000 hrs and was last overhauled in 2003.

Thanks to all for help and suggestions.

I think it is possible there is still water in the tanks.
