kinda like a couple of spark plug wires are unhooked...

kinda like dirt in the gas...

kinda like the timing is suddenly off...

running fine, then it suddenly started running real rough.  checked carb, seems to work ok. pulled plugs, don't see a problem there. dizzy tight, not suddenly loose and out of place...

what gives?  plan to put a timing light on it to see if maybe the timing has gone off...??

any ideas, suggestions, gremlins I should chase...?!

thanks,,Mark
