Had the car running good, at least in the garage. Timing was good, checked with a vacuum guage (17), changed the oil, and took it for a ride. Got a mile down the road and she gradually slowed down and lost all power. Didn't cut off abruptly, justify slowed way down and chugged along slowly until she quietly shut off. By this time, had already turned around toward the house. Stranded a half mile from home and pushed her back.
Before I pushed her back, I opened the hood and she looked flooded. I waited a few minutes and tried to start and she would not.
Since getting her back home, she still will not start. In fact, she now pops through the carburetor when cranking, but she won't start. I pulled the plugs and they look good, except for #3. Carbon/dirty. Cleaned all plugs and still won't start.
Trying to figure out what happened between running great in the garage and when she shut down a mile from the house. Help!
