Oh wise list....

Tonight I decided to sell Simon.  I was driving down the street (an
occurance not unfamiliar to most of you) behind a SUV doing 40mph in a 55.
I went to pass... of course the SUV speeds up.  By some strange miracle, I
made it around the bugger, but at about 70mph my engine started cutting
in'n'out.  It continued even after slowing down, but mostly only at low
rpms...  My first thought was th' carb... but maybe the clutch is slipping?
It's late, so I haven't looked under the hood yet..  Advice, anyone?

I love my Spit, but I just don't have the interest or money to keep it on
the road.  As soon as I fix this, the car will be for sale.
