32 B motor problem

[sawzall]

photo for attention
took my 32 B to the gilmore this weekend.

The car ran fairly well, however I noticed that at "wide open" in third gear the car felt like it was falling on its face.

on the 30 min drive to the gilmore we struggled to reach a reasonable speed, on the return trip the car died about 1/4 mile from my hotel.

long story short, we loaded the car and came home.

This morning I pulled the carb. the interior was spotless, no dirt, no debris nothin. just as clean as you would want it to be.

before reinstalling I cranked the engine to make sure that the fuel pump was actually supplying fuel, ( cranking the motor over to see that the pump was pumping and i did observe at least some fuel delivery, however I am not sure what it should really look like)

reinstallation of the carb and the car fired right up.

Worse yet was that it sat idling for an hour with zero issues.

as soon as I tried to test drive I noticed that under load it started to fall on its face, and even at light load I had popping and sputtering. barely made it back to the garage..

looking in the tank (under the front seat, I can see that the fuel tank Is not coated and seems to be clean.

should I lean toward ignition? condensor? whats my next move?

I dont want to pretend to be a mechanic, and need to get back to cutting wood for wagons asap!

any help appreciated..

on the positive side, we did glide to a stop in front of sweetwater donuts.. which otherwise I would have missed.
