I've got a 1964 Scout 80 that I've been restoring over the last three years..
I swamped in a 196 4cylinder for the 152... I rebuilt the motor completely.. New cam.. I've put in a pertronix ignition and matched the coil to the ignition..
So here's what's happening: it starts right up immediately without any struggle at all.. And runs perfect for a few minutes until it gets hot and then it starts to stumble and then finally it dies..
I thought at first I might be giving it too much fuel, cause it smelled strong, so I thought I'd check the jet size, and from what I could find online about which size to use, I found that mine was a few sizes too large.. It had a 56 in and I put a 53 in its place..
Just tried it out and it started right up again and ran fine until it warmed up and then the same thing.. Started to stumble and then it died..
So now I'm thinking its ignition related..
Does any of this sound familiar to someone?? What do you think more dealing with.. Cause I don't really know where to start..
