I think it's just tired.....

My wife's uncle dropped off his 268. Says he thinks it's just getting tired. Wanted me to take a look.
First thing I did was pull the muffler......

That's what it looks like to me.
I'm not gonna investigate any further until he hands ownership over to me.
But before that, I scored a blowed up 346 that takes priority over this turd

50:1 mix and lean tune killed it.

Plus 1 for the muffler gasket. That's usually the culprit.
