If you remember in one of my other posts from a couple weeks ago I've had trouble with this '28 running well, or even running (backfiring) recently. We took it out yesterday for a couple miles in 78 degree weather. The two miles was about all it wanted. It started losing power and surging. There was some backfiring. I know that there are a myriad of things to check, but I got thinking about the coil. Could a failing coil cause this? I have a new one so I'm going to give it a try.
