no, temperature won't cause that - maybe running lean or the coil is starting to die

You could try pulling the choke out a little...if improves it is running lean for some reason.

Had something that sounds similar that ended up being the carb. Switched it out for a different one and smooth as

GuamMini,

At least your coolant system is in good shape!

Water could definitely get into the Fuel Depots tanks though...either dump it and start again or try dosing the tank with say a pint of Methylated Spirits

what fuel are you running?

_________________

what fuel did you put in? I am in Thailand at the moment and "gasahol" is frequently labeled as 95 Ron but is a blend of ethanol and petrol. if you've put a fuel blended with ethanol in it then you will need to adjust the mixture as ethanol has less energy density than petrol.

I'd say drain the tank, should be a tap that you can reach underneath the tank.

Run 95 bp in it. Ultimate causes to many issues

Do you seriously believe BP (as in British Petroleum) fuel would be available in Guam?.......

BP are in the US (Or were until they had an issue in the Gulf of Mexico !) They bought Amoco and run refineries and other assets in Texas and elsewhere

Go for an electronic dissy with adaptive dwell. The coil runs cooler. No condenser issues. No points bounce.

There are not to many to pick from if you go for a drop in unit and keep your dissy. Accuspark or powerspark come to mind if your on a budget. Or go for whole new electronic dissy. Plenty on ebay for $140. Does your current dissy have vacuum advance and a top entry cap? You probably have a 29D if original. I think a 45D is the replacement for a vacuum dissy. 43D for non vacuum.
