Hello all, new to the site. I have a 1978 Ski Tique that just doesn't seem to be running right.
It has a Ford Commander 302 new fuel filter after removing tons of particulets from filter casing new spark plugs clean distributor cap and points new plug wires ordered It will start and run well for about 10 seconds then start to spudder, it seems to run ok throttled up, but once i try to let it idle, it just bogs out and dies. Any Ideas? Let me know, thanks! |

Is this the first time you've run it all year? I would think it just needs to be warmed up a little before you let the throttle back to neutral.
I had the same problem when first running our 96 last week. |

No sir, had it out 3 times this year already no problems what-so-ever except right when i went to put it on the trailer on my way in the last time it would not idle down to let me put it into gear.

check the mechanical advance and make sure the weights are free and not catching on anything. Did you replace the fuel and water seperator?
