that is the vapor systom and i dont think it would cause the problem i would check the carb and the points

Maybe the fuel lines at the filter have cracked and your sucking air? If thats the case, it wont show much of a fuel leak. It might be a good idea to replace the lines from the tank to the filter and from the filter to the pump. If it's original hoses, that's most likely the problem.

I would check your points then your plugs. It sounds kinda like a problem I had, is it dying every once in a while for no reason or back firing? If it is you might want to replace your coil as well my coil went bad on me and it started acting that way. Then I just went down the troubleshooting list....... starting with points and so on and so forth. Hopefully that will help you a little.

check your fuel pressure maybe your pump is gradually dying. later terry
