Maybe carb getting clogged with crud from the tank/fuel line?I picked up a M<ac 1-10 with a f\bullfrog carb in it a couple of months ago.I didn't rerally have much time to fiddle with it till today.I dug it out & had to give it a prime to get it running somewhat.I put a baffle & muffler cap on it first that I got from Mark.The primer button is missing & I tried using a screwdriver to get it primed,but I guess it's not working.Anyway,I had it running for a very short time & when I'd flutter the throttle it'd die.Each successive time I fired it up it ran for a shorter period each time.This leads me to believe that the condenser is breraking down,so tomorrow I'll put a known good condenser in it & try to tune the bullfrog carb.
Not ruling out dirty points or condenser breaking down, just food for thought.
Maybe give it a squirt of mix when it starts dying out and see if it comes around for a second.
That would prove fuel or ignition.
