Ran fine last outing. Now it will start, but barely runs; very rough. Unable to increase rpm at all. All comes to an end in <15 seconds, often with a backfire. Hint: Last time out, it got very hot. G
After finding black flakes before, my guess is that you have more and are due for a tank cleaning/coating. My car was apparently shedding large flakes. It might run fine for 3 or 4 weeks and then run
Scott Hutchinson was first to reply, that I should check the timing, and he was bang on! To my surprise, the distributor was loose. That heat-up must have expanded/contracted the hold down, then when

Moving the distributor to full lock right may indicate that the distributor gear is worn or your timing chain is worn. One of them probably jumped a tooth. Ron Fraser Couple of loving taps and the fu
Could be an ignition-timing problem, but if the car ran okay when it was put away and then wouldn't run right when restarted it doesn't sound like ignition....unless there is more than one problem. M
